Wikipedia notes that "some degree of recurrence in place and repetition over time of ritual action is necessary for a cult to be enacted, to be practiced." Browsing by cadence lets a visitor separate a practice performed on a fixed schedule from one performed only rarely or once.FactsLearn MoreContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedThe keeping of a tradition's food rules as an ongoing discipline, as distinct from the rules themselves, which the atlas records as beliefs. What is kept differs in kind - a legal standard of permitted species and slaughter, a vow of restricted fare for a set period, an abstention grounded in non-injury - and these do not substitute for one another. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedPractices 1Learn MoreThe dietary practices This group gathers dietary practices, the religious disciplines governing what, when and how the faithful eat: fasting, abstinence, vegetarianism, and rules of permitted and forbidden food. Diet is a daily and visible marker of religious identity and discipline in many traditions. The browser will find dietary practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's rules and rationale, noting the tradition that prescribes it.Continuous: a standing discipline, not an eventFilter Results8 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-1000 (1)511 (1)610 (1)1699 (1)1833 (1)1930 (1)Solitary or CommunalAllPerformed alone or together (8)TraditionAllBeta Israel (1)Breslov Hasidism (1)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Conservative Judaism (1)Haredi Judaism (1)Hasidic Judaism (1)Karaite Judaism (1)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Category of PracticeAllDietary (6)Who Performs ItAllAll adherents of the tradition (6)Monastics: monks and nuns (1)Trained or authorised specialists (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (8)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (8)ObligationAllObligatory (6)Recommended and meritorious, not required (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 8Buddhist Temple VegetarianismContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventHalalContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventItalContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventJain Dietary CodeContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventKeeping KosherContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventSattvic DietContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventSikh Dietary CodeContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventThe Word of WisdomContinuous: a standing discipline, not an eventSources1.
