TRADITION

-Traditions Remind Us of Who We Are and Where We Belong-

Meaning

Creation or continuation of traditions provides a sense of belonging and meaning to our lives. Being a step closer to one's own cultural heritage with family nurtures connection and brings comfort. Unique traditions give us, our families, and our friends something to look forward to and something to hope for. Traditions remind us of who we are and where we belong.

Identification

Like language, cultural traditions identify one's heritage. They're what's ingrained in all of us and what our family revolves around. Traditions can be cultural, religious, or familial. It's the rituals, whether big or small, that create those everlasting memories. We all grow up with a set of traditions that our families put into action, generation after generation. Without traditions, each person won't have the roots that sprout the unique individuals we are.
