Our family has this ritual we've done every holiday for thirty years but my sister-in-law converted to a different faith when she married my brother and now she says it makes her uncomfortable and my mom is devastated and everyone is tiptoeing around it.

More people experience this than they realize.
The sacred container of family ritual is cracking under the weight of evolving faith and no one knows how to honor both continuity and change.
