A rite is a custom or ceremony that is always repeated in the same way. Rites have a value symbolic and many times they usually express the content of a myth.
Custom or ceremony that is always performed in the same way, with the same methodology
Meanwhile, the celebration of a rite is known as ritual and according to the type of rite in question, it can be very varied. Because for example, there are some rites that are festive, that is, they suppose and propose situations and cheerful and fun behaviors, on the other hand, there are other rites that demand from the participants one attitude much more serious and solemn.
Tradition indicates what to do ...
The tradition It is in some way the guide that leads the rites, that is, it will be the one that will tell us what to do, what not to do, when, in what way, among other issues. Although it is not a condition without equanom, for the most part, the rites are directed by aauthorityFor example, in the case of Christianity, it will be the priest who directs the rites.
Although many rites refer to questions that are practically common to human beings, the truth is that the rituals will be closely linked to the society or culture in which they take place.
For example, the funeral rite, which is one that is performed after the death of a loved one, depending on the country in question, we will find substantial differences regarding the forms, a funeral rite is not the same in India as in Argentina.
Associated with the culture and society in which they develop
Each culture will contribute to the rite its own and most salient characteristics as well as its beliefs.. Returning to the example, in Argentina, the funeral rite involves carrying out a wake in which friends, relatives and relatives gather to say goodbye to the loved one and to offer condolences to the family and after this follows the funeral, which may be a burial, cremation, or embalming of the corpse.
On the other hand, there are other types of rites that are linked to the passage from one stage to another in life, for example, when a person finishes school high school and goes to university or also when he graduates it is a very widespread practice for his classmates, friends and family to meet at the door of establishment educational to throw eggs and flour at him.
Another type of rites, also very common, are those of initiationFor example, when a person is initiated into a secret order or lodge, he will have to sort out different practices, hidden until now, to specify the initiation in question.
And other rites also well known are those of purification (baptism), of blood (involving the shedding of blood), exorcisms (to ward off evil spirits), of commemoration (foundational events).
Rules that are established for the celebration of religious ceremonies: marriage
And the set of rules established for the worship and celebration of religious ceremonies is also called a rite.
The rite of marriage It is undoubtedly one of the most popular in this regard.
Following what the Catholic tradition imposes, once the bride and groom go through the civil registration To formalize their union on this plane, they will do the same in the religious sphere, such is what their faith proposes, and then they will endorse their marriage before God.
The religious celebration takes place in a church and is officiated by a priest, who is the representative of the church empowered to celebrate the marriage and the sacrament of marriage.
The ceremony lasts about an hour, the couple are accompanied by godparents and godmothers, two for each of them, who are usually the parents.
The bride just enters the Church hand in hand with her father and under the sound of some religious song.
At her altar, her husband is waiting for her with her godmother, who is usually his mother.
The priest, in addition to expressing the words of God inherent to this type of office, will speak to the bride and groom about the implications of that union, the obligations that they will contract from that moment, among other issues, and finally the link will be consummated when the priest asks each of the contracting parties if they accept the other as spouse, in health and in marriage. disease and until death do them part.
That is precisely what the Catholic religion proposes for that union, that it is only plausible for dissolution upon the death of one of the spouses.
Then, the bride and groom will exchange the wedding rings that have been previously blessed by the priest who marries them.
As time went by, the Church opened its conception a little about it, but until not long ago it opposed divorce and did not allow the marriage of a divorced person by church.
