The Importance of Traditional Practices and Rituals in Society
Traditional practices and rituals provide individuals with a framework to navigate significant life experiences like celebrations, losses, and trauma. These rituals offer a sense of stability and comfort by providing a structure for dealing with emotions and events. Even in a less religious society, people tend to create or revive rituals as a way to anchor themselves. The existence of rituals, both traditional and newly invented, serves the fundamental human need for stability and belonging.
