How do I deal with this etiquette on Facebook?

Also, I don’t want my friends to think I suddenly converted to Christianity.

Untag yourself. No one deserves an explanation as to why you don’t want to be tagged. If anyone looks bad in this situation it won’t be you.

It’s highly unlikely she’ll ask why you removed the tag.

Thanks. Sometimes I feel like I’m afraid to upset others. Even when I know it’s because of a completely fair/reasonable decision I make

How close are you to her? Why do you think she feel the need to tag you? Does she know that you are Jewish? Does she have any objection to Jewish? And also is there any chance that your friends see her post?

To me it’s pretty much a case-by-case situation, as someone who lives in a place where everyone use Facebook. I have to evaluate my situation before doing anything.

@rockfan I understand. I feel the same way. Facebook has a way of making us feel guilty when we shouldn’t.

Tricky. I’m inclined to say untag yourself, but I’m not sure what I would do. I’ve been to Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday mass with my MIL in the past, if there was a photo of me I wouldn’t be bothered by it, but I haven’t seen the particular status update and photo you’re talking about, and I can completely understand why it bothers you. If a Christian friend, who thinks everyone should be a Christian, did that to me, I would want to remove my name also.

Probably, I would comment below “Happy Easter” with emojis, and let it go. Just like a Merry Christmas typically would not bother me, and I’m happy to wish it back. But, again, I haven’t seen the photo.

I don’t see why being agnostic would have to come up—you’re Jewish! Not a fallen Christian. Your holiday coming up is Passover. Tag her on a matzah photo. Lol.

@JLeslie Lol. You’re right, all I have to do is say happy Passover in the comments and be done with it

There you go. :)

The risk is some Christian will turn it into “now, you can’t say Happy Easter.” Oy.

Untag yourself. AND change your privacy setting so others can’t tag you without your approval or at all. .

I echo @Mimishu1995, in that it really depends on your relationship with the person.

I would go more along the lines of what you said, but more like “Next year in Jerusalem!”. The “Christians” that would get upset wouldn’t know what that means.

Leave it, it is not hurting you and why cause unnecessary drama. BUT then immediately do what @LuckyGuy suggests and change your privacy settings so it doesn’t happen in the future.

She probably just tagged you because she wanted you to see the greeting not to imply that you were going to church with her. It took me a while to realize that a tag of “with….” on FB doesn’t actually mean that the person was with you; it often means they want you to see it. I would probably just comment something like “Happy Passover and Easter to those who celebrate” and leave it at that.

I just wished a friend on facebook Happy Easter and she wished me the same back. She knows I’m Jewish, but whatever.

@janbb is on target I think. The tag is probably just so you see it. I tag people that way myself.

Untag, she was probably inviting you to be nice. No worries.

Or you can say “Happy Easter to all and see you all in office on ***day” to show courtosy for her action and also letting her/ others know that you don’t celebrate it yourself. I think untaging without any reasoning would be rude.
