Sharks Speak: Celebrating holidays

"It's a little different from the traditional Easter, because I celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter, which is where we go to a midnight mass on Saturday, but then it becomes Sunday at midnight," said Nikolas T., sophomore law major.

“All I’m doing is just not eating the entire day basically in my room. From sunrise to sunset I don’t eat, drink, smoke, curse, listen to music, all those stuffs, so all that just makes me more isolated to my room,” said Fatoumata K., sophomore public health major, who celebrates Ramadan.

“We pray and, at night, we have a long meal, which we call the Passover Seder, where we tell the story of the Jewish people’s journey in Egypt during the times of the Torah," said Yosef N., junior computer science major, Mako Media employee, who celebrates Passover.

“I actually don’t celebrate Easter, but a majority of my family does. So typically, I’ll go over for a Sunday dinner; they’ll cut a steak. My younger cousins will do an egg hunt in the backyard, but I’ll usually help with food preparations in the kitchen,” said Liona S., freshman art and design major.
