Status with plenty of food

Food is abundantly consumed at both Christian and secular festivals and celebrations; the more well-organized a family, the more food they consume. High-ranking family members are frequently served first, and the position of the table typically signifies the person's status. Harvest festivals are observed in addition to the customary Christian feasts.

Micronesians typically marry the person of their choosing, but social standing, wealth, and family ties are still taken into consideration when making a marriage decision. Gifts and food are given out to commemorate the wedding. Divorce is allowed but unlikely if the couple has children. Funerals are significant occasions, but how they are conducted varies from island to archipelago. Funeral rites frequently span many days, and in some cultures, the immediate family members' grieving process can endure for several months.

New Year's Day, Good Friday (only on Pohnpei), Micronesian Culture and Tradition Day (March 30), Constitution Day (May 10), UN Day (October 24), Independence Day (November 2), War Veterans Day (November 12), Thanksgiving Day (only on Chuuk, November 28), and Christmas Day are all recognized national holidays, according to Countryaah. The four states also celebrate their own unique holidays.
