France24 reports from the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music - Artists from East and West, from all of the world's main religions, meet every year in the Moroccan spiritual city of Fes to promote understanding between spiritual traditions and encourage dialogue between civilizations. This years festival coincides with the 800th anniversary of the birth of the great Islamic sage, poet and spiritual guide Jallaludin Rumi. The wisdom, insight and beauty of Rumi’s heritage are celebrated in concerts and ritual throughout the festival programme. His vision charges the essence of our times. It is as relevant today as it was in the 13 th century, because Rumi teaches universal love and community.
