What is your definition of ceremony? (any religion or spiritual path free to answer)?
Here is what dictionary defines it as. Just gathering information and other points of view. People that feel the need to state their way as the only way will be ignored. Just share your thought about the question with me. Not your dogma.
1.A formal act or set of acts performed as prescribed by ritual or custom: a wedding ceremony; the Japanese tea ceremony.
2.A conventional social gesture or act of courtesy: the ceremony of shaking hands when introduced.
3.A formal act without intrinsic purpose; an empty form: ignored the ceremony of asking for comments from other committee members.
4.Strict observance of formalities or etiquette: The head of state was welcomed with full ceremony.
For me, a ceremony is an event where a person chooses to honor a specific moment in time by performing certain acts in a respectful manner and with complete awareness of what they are doing. We humans have the ability to turn the mundane into the divine just by creating ceremony around it.
