​Rituals& Milestones

Celebrating the Moments of Our Lives

​Rituals bring us together. They are prescribed by the traditions of a culture, a community (including a religious community) or even of a family.  Rituals strengthen our bonds and they express our values. They help us create a sense of identity, security, and belonging. They create shared memories. 

We have rituals around holidays like Advent, Christmas, Lent & Easter, and  we have rituals around other milestones and celebrations, like birthdays, Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day. Rituals help us celebrate these special moments, celebrate life, and even to remember those who have gone before us, like at wakes, funerals, and on Dia De Los Muertos.

Here we gather resources that focus on those celebrations of life. 

​What are some of your family traditions?
