Day 26: Religious and Cultural Communities by Stacey Agdern @nystacey
#Rombklove 2020 Day 26
Cultural and Religious communities come in all different forms. Large, small, found, you name it. Cultural and religious traditions can be the touchstone of friendships and relationships, new or old. They can also be the source of the  aunties, tias, uncles,  grandmas, bubbies, zaydes, Tantes and other elders that watch over you, whether you want them to or not ;)   Which ones have stood out the most?  Which would you like to see more of ?

#Rombklove 2020, día 26: Existen comunidades culturales y religiosas de todo tipo. Grandes, pequeñas… Sus tradiciones pueden ser la clave de amistades y relaciones, nuevas o antiguas. ¿Cuáles son las que más te han llamado la atención? ¿Cuáles querrías ver representadas más a menudo?:)
