Traditions are created by you and I reliving our personal
celebrations and events. We add new traditions to those of
our forebearers.  These are the oral traditions families
have told and retold for the length of human history.

The act of staging a re-enactment is passing that story to a
new generation. Traditions bring people closer together
recognizing their shared experience. Shared experiences give
a feeling of belonging.
