In Orthodox Christianity we do annual blessings on certain ancient feats of the year. Here are a few of them:
- Blessing of the Waters & Houses on Theophany (6 January)
- Blessing of Candles, Feast of the Meeting/Presentation of our Lord (2 February 40 days after the Nativity)
- Blessing of Palms/Willows, Feast of the Entry of our Lord into Jerusalem (1 Week Before Pascha)
- Blessing of Baskets of Meats, Chesses, Eggs, Butter, Wines, Oils, and Breads on Pascha (Movable Feast)
- Blessing of Fruit (Usually Grapes and/or Apples) on the Feast of Transfiguration (6 August)
- Blessing of Flowers on the Feast of the Dormition (15 August)
