Commemorative practices

Commemorative practices are organized ways communities and individuals honor and remember significant people, events, or milestones. These practices include ceremonies, memorials, anniversaries, or rituals that serve to preserve collective memory, provide reflection, and reinforce shared values or identities. They help keep history alive, foster a sense of connection, and offer opportunities for reflection and tribute. By engaging in these activities, societies acknowledge the importance of certain moments or figures, ensuring their significance is remembered and celebrated across generations.
