Rituals and ceremonies

Rituals and ceremonies are structured activities or practices that hold cultural, spiritual, or social significance. Rituals often involve specific actions, words, or symbols performed in a prescribed way, often to mark important life events, seasons, or spiritual beliefs. Ceremonies are formal gatherings or events that celebrate, honor, or mark milestones such as weddings, graduations, or religious observances. Both serve to reinforce shared values, create a sense of community, and help individuals connect with traditions or beliefs. While rituals are often more personal or daily, ceremonies tend to be more public and communal.
