ritual
Ritual is natural to human beings and plays an essential part in building personal and
cultural identity. Ordinary family rituals are often given added meaning by
overlaying them with forms of religious rituals. Rituals give shape to the
emotions and help humans come to terms with the major events of life. Religious
ritual has generally been seen vital in deepening spiritual insight. The repetition of rituals values and attitudes in the lives of the worshipers. Ritual also expresses and emphasises the thing that bind a faith community together, and through ritual both individuals and communities make visible their most basic religious, values. This is shown in the Lovat’s stages as it emphasises on the how and the why.
