Christian rituals

Sacred religious practices

Christian rituals are the ceremonial practices of Christianity—baptism, communion, confession, confirmation, marriage, and others.

Some denominations call these sacraments and consider them channels of divine grace; others view them as symbolic acts of faith.

The Christian rituals varied between the Orthodox and Protestant churches she'd attended.
