Rituals and Practices

Rituals and practices are structured actions or behaviors performed by individuals or groups, often carrying cultural, spiritual, or social significance. Rituals are typically formal, repeated, and symbolic activities that mark important events or transitions, such as weddings or religious ceremonies. Practices encompass a broader range of habitual actions, routines, or customs that express beliefs or values, like everyday prayer or meditation. Both serve to reinforce identity, foster community, and connect individuals to their traditions or beliefs. Overall, these actions help people express, maintain, and transmit their cultural or spiritual frameworks.
