Baptism is a ritual which makes you part of a specific community and several religions baptize its followers in different ways. The type of baptism being talked about here is the Christianity baptism. According to Christianity website, “When someone decides to “get right with God,” part of the “outward sign” of accepting Jesus as their savior is being baptized”. Some of the baptism is done at the church premises others also go to a lake and do immersion three times. During my baptism at church, I was immersed in a swimming pool three times which followed with prayers. Also, baptism can be done at church as early as a baby. Churches who baptize babies are mostly the catholic churches. Older people decide to baptize to be part of the church they attend and also to have good relationship with God.
There are several rituals that are observed in my family. During thanksgiving weekend all family members meet at the same location in Frederick, Maryland to cook and have fun. It is the time in the year that all the family members meet, and enjoy each other as well as sharing ideas. The family cooks a particular meal at this time of the year. This is the only time in the year that the food that is cooked is consistent compared to other family functions.
A ritual I will like to develop for my family and the society is to encourage everyone to take vitamins every day. Vitamins are known to be a good source of nutritional substitute and it help with building and helping the body to grow.
In conclusion, rituals are life time events and in general done in significant times for people.
