It's so hard to choose! We have so many nice traditions. Probably this one - In Judaism there is a tradition that if you experience a life-saving event you make a festive meal every year on the anniversary of that event to publicize it and say thanks to G-d. When she was 7 my sister fell from the window of the third story of our house. (This was before I was born.) The window was open and she was leaning on the screen, the screen popped out and fell below her, it caught on the fence, and she landed on it, and slid safely to the ground, she didn't break any bones!! So on the last day of Passover (when it happened) my parents always make a really big meal. Passover meals tend to be big to begin with, but for this they invite family and friends, and it's a really big deal. Then at dessert they serve champagne, and my father makes a little speech about everything they are thankful for. (This year was only the second year I missed it since I was born.)
I think it would have to be from my fiance's side: Greek Easter. We walk to church and get our candles lit at midnight, then we go back home and have a delicious traditional meal. Since the first time I participated I've always enjoyed.
@mimser my mom is Greek and I was raised Greek Orthodox--the Easter service is always my absolute favorite!! ❤ my grandparents would always take us out to eat after at a Greek diner
