Rituals in Religion...?

Question

Use the diverse concepts of Ultimate Reality/ The Holy/ The Sacred in the respective religious traditions to offer reasons why rituals can take on great significance in religious contexts.

Answer 1

I think it's the symbolism in those rituals that give them deep meaning for those following them.

Answer 2

Reality - religious traditions and rituals bind believers in fellowship. Repetition provides outward display of inner religious beliefs. Offer a sense of familiarity and comfort.

Holy - religious traditions and rituals are usually centered around absolution, forgiveness, and give a sense of connectedness and acceptance to something bigger than the self.

Sacred - Participating in a physical sacred action and/or custom links that religious practice with the participants devotion and love and deeper sense of connection for God or whatever they believe to be a higher power.

Answer 3

Religious Rituals, often take the Place of the Scriptures. They are often used to BLURR The TRUTH!
