Religious rite

A religious rite is a formal or ceremonial act that holds spiritual significance within a faith. It typically involves specific rituals, words, and actions performed to mark important spiritual events such as initiation, blessing, or rites of passage. Rites help believers express their devotion, affirm their faith, and connect with their community. Examples include baptisms, marriages, or holy communions. These ceremonies are often guided by religious traditions and leaders, serving as meaningful symbols that reinforce faith and religious identity.
