Judeo-Christian traditions are traditions which Judaism and Christianity have in common, or ways in which people combine traditions from the two faiths. More commonly it seems to be used to describe ways in which people have incorporated Jewish traditions into their Christian faith.

Because Christianity began in Israel, with the same books of the Bible and with a Jewish Messiah, these similarities were more common in the earliest days of Christianity. However, over time Chriatianity moved largely to the Western world and Catholism changed many traditions and caused a larger split between Christianity and Judaism. Unfortunately, a lot of the similarities between the two faiths have been lost.

You could loosly call things such as the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the belief in the same God 'Judeo-Christian' as these are things that both have in common. However you will come across more prominant Judeo-Christian traditions with smaller groups, such as Messianics. These groups keep the Biblical Sabbath (Saturday) and also keep the Biblical Feasts (such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles). A few may also go as far as keeping Biblical law in a way similar to Orthodox Jews.

Hebrew Christians will also often practice Christianity in a way which embraces Jewish traditions. They may have a Menorah, keep some festivals such as Chanukah and Passover, or pray some traditional Jewish prayers.
