Question

homework!! what happens to the placenta its there a ritual girl or boy.

can you give me a religion and what they do is there a ritual

Answer 1

In the western world we tend to dispose of it with the medical waste, but many traditional cultures revere it and some eat it or bury it.

The Ibo of Nigeria and Ghana treat the placenta as the dead twin of the live child and give it full burial rites.

Filipina mothers are known to bury the placenta with books, in hopes of a smart child.

Preparing the placenta for consumption by mothers is considered traditional among Vietnamese and Chinese people. The Chinese believe a nursing mother should boil the placenta, make a broth, then drink it to improve her milk.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

When a child is born, most religions conduct naming ceremony when the child's date of 7 days delivered completed. The naming ceremony shall be conducted by the Pastor or Rev Father or even the Cathkis of the church. The palcenta is normally burried. Thanks.

Answer 3

If you are Roman Catholic they have the child baptized.
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
Other religion's too have baptism/christening.
