ceremonial use
For official occasions
Ceremonial use describes activities performed for ritual, symbolic, or traditional purposes rather than practical ones.
The phrase appears often in legal contexts, especially regarding indigenous peoples' rights to use otherwise restricted substances in religious practices: Peyote is legal for ceremonial use by Native American tribes.
Objects kept for ceremonial use are displayed or employed on formal occasions rather than everyday life.
