Ceremonial occasions

A ceremony may mark a rite of passage in a human life, marking the significance of, for example:

  • puberty
  • social adulthood (Bar (or Bat) Mitzvah)
  • graduation
  • awarding
  • retirement
  • death (Day of the Dead)
  • burial (funeral)
  • spiritual (baptism, communion)
  • Celebration of events

    Other, society-wide ceremonies may mark annual or seasonal or recurrent events such as:

  • weekly Sabbath day
  • inauguration of an elected office-holder
  • occasions in a liturgical year or "feasts" in a calendar of saints
  • Opening and closing of a sports event, such as the Olympic Games
  • Other ceremonies underscore the importance of non-regular special occasions, such as:

  • coronation of a monarch
