Religious+Ritual+&+Sacred+Symbols

In all religions people come together for different purposes, and the wrods they say and the things they do tend to follow a certain pattern each time. These include rites of passage (or initiation rites) and rites of worship or devotion. (egs. Christian sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Communion; the Catholic Mass)
 * __Religious Ritual__**

Many Christian rituals vary between denomination, individual church and individual Christian, but some practices are common to virtually all forms of Christianity.

__**Sacred Symbols**__ All religions have many symbols. Some are more important than others, but often one or two stand out above all others, capturing something of what is most important about the tradition. (eg. The Christian cross)
