religious customs
Faith-based observances practiced
Religious customs are the traditional practices, rituals, and observances associated with a faith or spiritual community.
These range from daily habits like prayer and dietary restrictions to life-marking ceremonies—baptisms, bar mitzvahs, weddings, funerals.
The family maintained religious customs from the old country.
Religious customs often persist even among those whose belief has faded, becoming as much cultural as spiritual.
