They overlap with the holidays under the holiday type, but a calendrical ritual is filed here when the entry emphasises the rite performed on the day rather than the day itself.FactsLearn MoreSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedRites tied to a recurring point in a tradition's calendar rather than to an event in a life - a weekly sabbath, a seasonal turning, an annual first-fruits offering. Each is reckoned in its own calendar, so the recurrence is regular within the tradition and irregular against the civil year. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard analytic category in the study of religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedRituals 1BrowseCompareSelect all 14KemariCalendrical Rituals1 linkKwakwaka'wakw Winter CeremonialCalendrical Rituals1 linkNiiname-saiCalendrical Rituals5 linksOpet FestivalCalendrical Rituals6 linksPassover SederCalendrical Rituals23 linksSetsubunCalendrical Rituals4 linksShabbatCalendrical Rituals19 linksThe Sabbat RitesCalendrical Rituals13 linksHavdalahCalendrical Rituals4 linksKiddushCalendrical Rituals5 linksTashlichCalendrical Rituals2 linksThe Aztec New Fire CeremonyCalendrical Rituals2 linksThe Dogon Sigui CeremonyCalendrical Rituals2 linksThe Shikinen Sengu of Ise Grand ShrineCalendrical Rituals2 linksLearn MoreThe Calendrical Rituals This group holds calendrical rituals, the rites fixed to the cycle of the year and the calendar: the observances of seasons, new moons, solstices and the recurring festivals that structure sacred time. They bind the community to the turning of the year and the rhythm of its tradition. The browser will find calendrical rituals from various traditions. The entries describe each rite's timing, form and meaning, noting the tradition and the moment in the year it marks.Sources1. Divinity Atlas Directory Taxonomy, First Edition Category Treetier 12.
