global traditions

Customs across nations

Global traditions are customs, practices, or celebrations observed across many cultures worldwide, or traditions that have spread beyond their origins to gain international recognition.

The term often appears in discussions of holidays, rituals, or cultural practices that transcend national boundaries: New Year's celebrations are a global tradition, though customs vary by culture.

It can also describe efforts to preserve or share cultural heritage internationally.
