Nowruz: Celebrated by Zoroastrians and Muslims in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and parts of India, Nowruz represents the first day of spring. Families have special meals, play games, give gifts, visit relatives, and wear traditional clothing.

Easter: Easter is one of Christianity's oldest observances, dating back more than 2,000 years. Christians commemorate Jesus Christ's resurrection with ceremonies and feasts. Some customs include giving eggs painted bright colors and making decorations from local plants such as ferns and palm fronds.

Passover: Passover is Jewish holiday held during Easter week that remembers God rescuing them out of slavery in Egypt. During this time they eat matzo bread instead of regular bread, drink four cups of wine, hold a Seder meal, and retell stories from their history.
