Christians, Jews and Muslims gathered Sunday at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Casablanca to mark the year end holidays through a joint celebration known as the “Bûche of Fraternity,” highlighting values of tolerance and coexistence in Morocco.
The event was organized by the association Moroccans Pluriels and aimed to promote interfaith dialogue and the transmission of shared values to younger generations.
Among those attending were the U.S. consul general in Casablanca, Marissa D. Scott Torres, Father Andre Keumaleu of the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church, representatives of the Salam Lekoulam association, religious figures and members of civil society.
Scott Torres praised what she described as Morocco’s longstanding tradition of religious harmony, calling the gathering a message of hope and an educational example for youth.
Father Keumaleu said the shared celebration symbolized solidarity and openness rooted in Moroccan society.
Ahmed Ghayat, president of Moroccans Pluriels, said the initiative seeks to preserve Morocco’s heritage of peaceful coexistence and encouraged similar gatherings nationwide and abroad.
