VOCABULARY: Ways to commemorate holidays.
Why are traditions / celebrations important?
Traditions are important because they give people a sense of social identity, they are important because on the dates in which traditions are celebrated, families and friends usually gather to share more moments together.
Why do people keep traditions alive?
Most people pass on their cultural practices from generation to generation, in this way traditions continue to be maintained, people grow up and tell their children about the traditions and years later they continue with that legacy. Traditions are kept alive because they are important to remember the things our ancestors did. One reason is also because people want to have a date to celebrate, a date to commemorate, in this way they can plan things to do and maintain the spirit of hope to reach that memorable date.
