Wikipedia notes that "rituals appeal to tradition and are generally continued to repeat historical precedent, religious rite, mores, or ceremony accurately."

The grouping cuts across traditions with very different accounts of what the act does, from a sacrament held to convey grace to a meal shared with the dead. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard analytic category in the study of religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedRituals 1Learn MoreThe devotional rituals This group holds devotional rituals, the formal, repeated acts of worship and reverence directed toward the divine: liturgies, offerings, processions and the regular rites of the temple, church, mosque or home. Where devotional practices are the ongoing habit of piety, these are its structured ceremonial forms. The browser will find devotional rituals from various traditions.
