This page groups rituals by the event or setting they trace their origin to. Wikipedia gives the American Thanksgiving dinner as an example, noting it "may not be formal, yet is ostensibly based on an event from the early Puritan settlement of America." Browsing this way lets a visitor see the historical occasion a ritual claims to commemorate.
