Equity Corner : Passover and Easter

We're right in the middle of a very celebratory season! In addition to the month long celebration of Ramadan that we shared about a few weeks ago, this past week marked the celebrations of Passover and Easter.  

Passover is an 8-day festival representing rebirth and new beginnings in the Jewish faith. It began last Wednesday at sundown (as do all Jewish celebrations) and lasts through this Thursday at Sundown.  Here is a version of the Passover story for kids and here is a description of the celebrations and traditions of the holiday including foods and activities!

Additionally, this weekend many people celebrated Easter—but the same holiday is celebrated very differently around the world.  Check out this list of some of the interesting traditions for Easter around the world!
