Write about a cultural or national holiday celebration that you’ve participated in outside of your own culture.
Experience is often the best teacher, and when it comes to understanding traditions and cultural nuances, this holds particularly true. Chronicle your experiences of engaging with, understanding, and even participating in a holiday tradition outside your own culture. This could involve lighting a menorah during Hanukkah, taking part in a Diwali procession, or jumping over fire during Iran’s Chaharshanbe Suri. Describe the emotions, confusions, joy, or perspective shifts that this gave rise to.
