The Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches bless themselves on a regular basis. The reason they differ is that the Romans copy the motion of the Priests (head/chest/left shoulder/right shoulder). The Orthodox, "receive" the blessing imparted by the priest (head/chest/right shoulder/left shoulder) blessing themselves three times in the name of the Most Holy Trinity.

Why do religions celebrate different festivals ex. Christians Diwali?

Religions are a function of culture.

As such, some proclamations are observed differently or not at all by other religions and usually the histories of religions are as varied as the religions themselves.
