<holidayfyi-glossary slug="vow-of-silence"></holidayfyi-glossary>A spiritual practice of deliberate silence observed in various religious traditions as a form of meditation, mourning, or devotion. In Hinduism, Mauna Ekadashi involves a day of silence. During Tisha B'Av in Judaism, communities refrain from joyful activities as a sign of mourning. Silent retreats and vigils appear across Buddhist, Jain, and Christian traditions as well.
