Kendra is a "mother of many" living just outside of Los Angeles, CA. She started Catholic All Year as a way to share the practice of celebrating the liturgical year in the home, and getting to know the saints and seasons of the Church calendar through food, prayer, and conversation. If you’d like her guide to liturgical living, it’s available in book-form in The Catholic All Year Compendium: Liturgical Living for Real Life and The Catholic All Year Prayer Companion: The Liturgical Year in Practice, both of which you can find at CatholicAllYear.com.

I was born in a muslim family, lived 28 years of my life as an atheist, and thanks be to God I am 11 years practicing Catholic now. Thank You Lord for for tue Catholic faith, Ave Maria now and forever ❤
That is an interesting life experience. I work with several Burmese Muslims that are all younger like in their 18-26 range. Outside of dietary restrictions they kinda just seem like secular American kids listening to rap, smoking, and cursing like sailors. One guy said he converted to Islam because he thought of Christianity as a white man’s religion.
As a former Muslim what do you think about this?
@@prestonowens4594 christianity is a peaceful religion that is inclusive, equality is important, and inter-marriage of faiths is accepted, and fully accepting others of different beliefs/races etc., no one is 2nd class, nor is it allowed to lie/steal/cheat or kill others as excuses to ''further the religion for god' - in Christianity all are equal and equally black and white race people. Jesus was hated by the 1st century leaders, as he freed the people/slaves from despot rule, He taught that GOD is in heaven [our father prayer] and that those living in the deserts palaces&mountains temples were simply rogues /bankers etc and absolutely not gods - the ones referred to as gods were evil and kept the people/commoners enslaved in superstition, ignorance, and poverty, and controlled them by fear, plagues, famine&cruelty.
Not gonna lie, I was hoping you'd say something about Wet Monday 😂
I'm from Poland and every time after Mass kids and teens (adults also) would do a huuuge water fight with our priests. It's always hilarious😂
Here in Florida, the Greek Catholics throw a big cross in the water off the sponge docks for Epiphany. Teenage boys dive for it.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “People should not fear God, thinking he is always ready to punish, but rather they should love him because he is always ready to forgive.
God is not a relentless sovereign who condemns the guilty, but a loving father whom we must love not out of fear of punishment, but because of his goodness.
The Lord is a God who is just, but always ready to reveal himself as merciful and compassionate.”
Cool information / traditions. Thanks!
I love this video! Fun traditions from different cultures. What a breath of fresh air after seeing a bunch of Catholic videos that basically just come down to some trad complaining that there are no rails any more. Then she does this fun one that's just an exploration of fun cultural celebrations of feast days around the world. See THIS is what I signed up for.
A catholic tradition that's popular where I am from is celebrating the nativity of the blessed virgin.
A week starting from Sept 1 - 8 families gather flowers and offer them to mother mary and sing devotional hymns to her.
On the feast day which is September 8th, families celebrate the harvest festival. Everyone sits on the floor and eats an array of vegetarian dishes served on a banana leaf.
My husband’s family loves slicing the Rosca de Reyes on Epiphany! If you find the Infant Jesus in your slice you have to cook for the family on Candlemass. It’s a fun tradition.
Not to mention a good bread 😊
I'm the Jedi Master of not getting the niño. What I do is I pretend to go for one slice then at the last moment I grab a different one. I fake the risks out. Haven't had to make tamales in years.
Fascinating, Fun & Wonderfully Weird 🙌🙏🙌 Love the egg in the fountain... How do they do that🤔
In the Philippines:
* Basaan ("Watah-Watah") Festival on Saint John the Baptist Day, when people throw water at each other.
* Penitents scourge themselves and get crucified on the Holy Week.
* Carabaos (Asian water buffalo) are trained to kneel for Saint Isidore the Farmer on his feast day.
Thank you so much for celebrating my boy Isidro. Those of us who still make it living off the land appreciate that this holy man is still venerated. I didn't have a tradition for him than a statue and a novena but it sure is nice to know that someone is interceding in my behalf on matters of sun rain and wind and hail that I can't control. St Isadore the Farmer pray for us.
"People were... troubled" 😂
Where I live in France, we go to the top of mountains nearby on June 25 night and light up some fire, and people have a good time together, like a scout camp but for june 25. And as our parish has a relic of St James (a rib), we also do the same on July 25 as it is the feast day of our parish.
Unfortunately we swedes grow up having no clue Santa Lucia is actually a Chatolic saint, it is just something we do as a tradition, and we have no clue to why..as always..."nah, I dunno why we do it, its tradition" But it is a really beautiful tradition. Especially when they are visiting the elderly in nursing homes.
Thank you
Yeah, in the secular world it's become pretty much a celebration of light and forgotten that that light is christ (a bit like how O helga natt always sung at the Bingolotto with no apparent reverance or reflection to the meaning of the words). But at least the christian roots are made clear when celebrated in churches. I always try to attend the Luciatåg here in the Dome church in Stockholm. Very beautiful indeed.
5:18 so ITs just symbolic
Its the rich tapestry of traditions that make Catholicism far more interesting and reflective of the numinous in a way that no Protest sect can rival. Thank you so much for focusing on the broad cornucopia of practices that make our faith perpetually engaging.
I was at the Philippines for Holy Week and witnessed their Good Friday Penitensya which was pretty intense @____@
Hello brother from Philippines! Is it true that your country celebrates Catholic dates using the Celosia flower?
Yeah tho the Church doesnt really endorse that. I prefer our cenaculos haha
I love you book! I use it frequently and have really worked on incorporating liturgical living in our home and sharing it with our friends and family!
Love it!!!❤❤❤
The egg reminded me of the Host in the Monstrance.
Everyone should look into Carnaval de Podence, from northern Portugal, on Carnaval (Shrove Tuesday) people from the Vila of Podence dress up as strange Portuguese flag-coloured creatures and go about causing mischief around the town, as well as performing dances and music 😂
I love learning about other cultures! There is a tradition in Spain during the Immaculate Conception (December 8) called "Tió de Nadal". However, it has nothing to do with the Church and is the weirdest thing I've ever read. Pardon me if I'm mistaken about this information.
Well, shrove Tuesday pancakes mum always used to make us. God bless her ♥️
Here in Brazil we still light bonfires in st John the Baptist nativity. We also have greasy poles in this feast, but they are vertical.
Look up Cajun Mardi Gras
Oh my...interesting!! 🤷♀️
Wet Monday is pretty awesome. You don’t wear costumes, just go on regular fights with your siblings and neighbours and friends. If you’re dry on that day, you don’t know how to have fun.
My favorite Catholic tradition is drinking (in moderation obviously)
Crazy traditions = Crazy People? Don't forget colache Sunday for Cheklosovakia.
Anyone know why westerners adopted eastern religions?
Great video! You should check the Dancing Devils of Corpus Christi, a Venezuelan tradition!
When we celebrate Santa Lucia the kids walk in procession, and one time there was this kid with lots of hair, and well, lets just say he put the crown of candles to shame😂
Edit: he wasn't hurt by the incident
It seems that God is preparing a melted cheese sandwich for May 3 with the crust and mantle beneath New Jersey.😵💫😮
Don't eat ze bugs!
You really need to check yourself. What you said at 1:30 was despicably appalling on so many levels. You showed your true colors in that comment.
These seem more like family traditions. They aren’t religious, or Catholic.
Catholic teachings come from Scripture, not some kooky event.
I bet you're fun at parties....
Sola Scriptura? Right in front my Catholic channel? Really?
Catholic teachings come from Jesus and His Apostles.
@@Jack-hd1znwhat are talking about? 2:08
I think understanding that these are regionally specific cultural traditions and that being different from Sacred Tradition will maybe help with your fairly distasteful view on the video.
This MIGHT get me excommunicated 🤣…. To me its “ASH WEDNESDAY”. The Readings chosen by the USCCB snd maybe around the world, not sure - is to NOT show you are fasting and to wash your face - so what do most catholics do (even those who make it one of only a handful of days they enter a church each year - unless many funerals, weddings, baptisms, confirmations, holy communions and maybe even an ordination) 😉…… I am a practicing catholic, and participate in Mass at church several times besides Sundays each week BUT I just can not get into the symbol of ash Wed. I know memento mori but the practice drives me nuts!
I didn't get but if you have a cuestion about Ash Wednesday i recommend that you watch The Council of Trent video on the topic God bless you brother or sister in Christ and may you have a blessed day!
Ma'am what's your Age?
Interesting, but I'd drop the adjective "weird." "Weird" has a strong connotation of "demonic", used to describe witchcraft in Shakespearean times and in Old English and Old Norse. Better to say "Funny Catholic customs." Better to not say "traditions," to avoid conflating them in non-Catholic minds with Divine Tradition, which is the oral Word of God guarded by the Catholic Church.
I wouldn't even mention this crazy stuff.
Um, definitely eating your god has to take the cake for the weirdest catholic tradition
Don't a lot of these traditions come from pagan times? (like bonfires)
Sure. Undoubtedly many beloved traditions and celebratory customs that Catholics practice have their roots in pagan practices. That, in and of itself, doesn't make those practices bad. It is how we adopt and express those traditions, through a Catholic lens, that determines whether they glorify the Lord or are just a means to commit idolatry which detracts from the worship of God. If we were to jettison everything that comes from pagan culture, many things we value, like philosophy, democracy, and geometry would have to be expunged from our world.
........ really? Bonfires are Pagan? Sitting around a fire outdoors is a pagan ritual? This is why we cant have nice things 🥴
Ritualistic bonfires are present in the Old Testament. Remember that the Jewish made sacrifices to God through bonfire.
I don’t understand your comment about St Peter walking on the water. It sounded disrespectful. I didn’t feel comfortable watching the rest of the video.
