<holidayfyi-glossary slug="atonement"></holidayfyi-glossary>The theological concept and ritual practice of making amends for sins before a deity, most prominently observed in Judaism during Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) — the holiest day of the Jewish year, marked by fasting, prayer, and confession. In Christianity, atonement is the theological foundation of Good Friday, understood as Christ's sacrificial death reconciling humanity with God; in Islam, acts of expiation (kaffarah) for broken oaths are performed through fasting or charitable giving, particularly during Ramadan.
