Mecca is a city in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, the center of thoughts and prayers of every Muslim. Inside it is kept a sacred relic of Muslims - a black stone, symbolizing the key to the heavenly Temple. The stone once had a dazzling white color, but due to human vices and sins it became black. It is located in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula in a valley surrounded by mountains. On the square near the Great Mosque, there is the main shrine of Islam - the Kaaba - a building made of gray stone in the shape of a cube, covered with black brocade with lines from the Koran embroidered in gold.

Slide description:

For 14 centuries, the eyes of Muslim believers have been turned to the sacred Kaaba. 70 days after the end of fasting, which falls during the holy month of Ramadan, they perform the hajj, that is, the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Hajj begins with the rite of bringing oneself into a state of ritual purity - the symbol of which is the pilgrim's clothing, consisting of two pieces of white linen: one is wrapped around the hips, and the other is draped over the shoulders. The white color of the clothing reminds of humility and the shroud in which the pilgrim will appear before God in due time. Then everyone says the words addressed to the Almighty: “Here I am before You! Truly praise be to You, mercy and power!”

Slide description:

The Hajj ritual also includes pilgrims crossing the Mina Valley to Mount Arafat (18 km from Mecca). Here they listen to the sermon and pray, and then run into the valley to the brightly lit mosque, where evening and night prayers are read. The next day after morning prayer, pilgrims go to the valley and throw seven stones at one of the three stone pillars, symbolizing Satan, who, according to legend, tempted God in the desert. This is followed by the ritual of animal sacrifice in memory of the readiness of Abraham (among Muslims - Ibrahim) to sacrifice his only son to God. The origins of this ritual are reflected not only in the holy book of Muslims - the Koran, but also in the Bible, in the Old Testament, which for them, as for Christians, is the Holy Scripture. After slaughtering a sheep or lamb, one should generously feed the poor and everyone who wants it. Many Muslims replace the slaughter of animals with a monetary contribution to the mosque.

Slide description:

Buddhist holidays and rituals are distinguished by their amazing originality and richness of traditions. In Mongolia, five main holidays, called Great Khurals, are celebrated throughout the year. Each of them glorifies the life and wisdom of the Great Teacher in their own way. During ceremonial processions, to the sound of drums and trumpets, monks carry sacred relics from Buddhist temples and carry them around the monastery. While making a ritual circumambulation, believers strive to touch the relics, and they lay their modest gifts and offerings at the walls of the monastery. In Southeast Asia, in Thailand, the holiday of seeing off monks is especially popular. Every resident of this country must live in a monastery at least once in his life for at least two weeks.

Often at such competitions, sharp shooters were selected for military squads. Since 1912, the venue for Nadom was the foot of the sacred mountain Bogdo-Ula, located near modern Ulaanbaatar. The main types of competitions are still Mongolian wrestling, horse racing and archery.

Planet Earth is inhabited by many different peoples and nations, differing from each other in traditions, religion, culture, language of communication, which cannot be said about rituals. They are the ones that are mostly repeated among many peoples, causing surprise in their complete or partial similarity. The rituals differ in their execution, but carry the same meaning.

What is the connection between the customs and religious characteristics of peoples?

There are many religions, but the main and more widespread are Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Thanks to faith, liberation wars, hostility and conflicts between different peoples were fought. It would seem that such beliefs have nothing in common. But in reality, everything is not so simple.

By drawing boundaries between peoples based on their religious affiliation, humanity moves away from the higher mind. It is no coincidence that the rituals of one nation have many common features with the traditions of other nations. In most cases, the customs of African tribes are similar to Eurasian ones. There is a lot in common in wedding or funeral rituals, as well as in conspiracies, prayers, and communication between relatives.

Why are the rituals of different nations repeated?

The answer to this question should be sought in the distant past. News has reached modern man that most of the peoples were previously classified as pagans. People believed in various gods, in extraterrestrial civilizations that patronized humanity in the old days.

Higher powers gave the ancestors many covenants and a wealth of knowledge aimed at teaching them the right way of life. If such rules were violated, then the time came for retribution and punishment.

With the development of civilizations, the customs of the pagans gradually faded into the background, but this was not always the case. They were transformed in the culture of certain states, they were united with a new religion.

It is worth noting that Muslim celebrations can be a copy of Christian ones. For example, the rituals of the Tatar people, whose religion is Islam, largely echo the traditions of the Russian people. Customs are passed on from one generation to another, improved, modified, even supplemented, or some details are abolished. Taken together, the purpose of any ritual clearly reflects its importance and relevance today.

Many traditions and rituals continue to exist today in their original form.

Slavic rituals and holidays

The traditions and customs of the Slavs have passed through many centuries, undergone certain changes, but still survived, and today they continue to live and delight peoples. The most ancient rituals are related to paganism, which was considered necessary for humans. After all, according to this religion, the purpose of the individual on earth was explained.

One of the ancient and well-known rituals among various Slavic peoples is associated with the deity Makosh. The celebration was celebrated between October and November. Gatherings during this period were the starting point so that we could prepare for the winter season.

It was in the name of Mokosh that folk festivities were organized. Representatives of the Slavic peoples worshiped this deity, performed a ritual of sacrifice, and brought various gifts. People did everything so that Makosha would provide her assistance in obtaining the rich harvest needed next year.

For the most part, the rituals of the Slavs were related to agriculture, since people in those days tended to their lands and therefore the main thing for them was the harvest necessary for life.

Ancient rituals and church holidays

To this day, customs associated with visiting the graves of deceased relatives have been preserved. People go to the cemetery on church holidays, such as Trinity, Radunitsa, and also St. Demetrius Saturday. This is where the tradition of remembering the dead came from, with candles lit and food and drinks left on their graves.

Among the ancient rituals are the Christmastide, which is still in effect today, in honor of which people at home commemorate their deceased relatives and friends. Holy Thursday is also relevant. In this case, a ritual associated with purity is performed. On this day, it is necessary to clean the entire house and wash all family members. The essence of the tradition is that this is how the souls of dead people are cleansed and warmed.

Today, humanity also celebrates an ancient Slavic holiday called Maslenitsa. This solemn event is closely connected with remembrance, and therefore today, as in the old days, they continue to prepare pancakes, which are taken to the grave of deceased relatives, and perform a ritual of remembrance.

During the celebration of Maslenitsa, fist fights were held in the air, and other open-air competitions were also held. Among the ancient Christian rites, there was a commemoration of a deceased person. Customs such as Wedding and Baptism came to the modern world from the distant past.

Popular holidays and traditions associated with religion

With the retreat of paganism, holidays and rituals began to appear, incorporating teachings from religion. Every religion has its own special traditions, which can be daily, weekly, or annual. There are episodic rituals that are performed only once in a lifetime. Usually, they are related to life processes such as the birth of a child, marriage, or the death of a person.

The main traditions in Christianity

Among the important and basic customs in the Christian world are considered to be birth, Baptism, marriage with the accompanying Wedding, death followed by the Funeral Service. The brightest holiday of Easter is considered the brightest and most important celebration in the Christian world. This tradition ends with Lent.

Another colorful holiday is the Nativity of Christ, which is preceded by the Advent Fast.

The main traditions in Islam

Every Muslim is required to read a prayer called Namaz. A person should pray 5 times every day, regardless of where he is. In the Muslim world, there are several main celebrations that have their own meaning. This is Kurban Bayram - the ritual of sacrifice, Uraza Bayram - the holiday of breaking the fast, including Miraj - the night on which the seer Muhammad is raised to heaven, Mawlid - the birth of the prophet.

Ceremonial events are held according to the Muslim calendar.

Main traditions of Buddhism

This religion places a special place on human death. An unusual burial ritual is performed, which includes several stages in its organization. Here it is necessary to read prayers, illuminate the burial places, and also perform a funeral service for the deceased person.

Vesak is an important holiday in Buddhism. This is a bright solemn ceremony held on the occasion of the birth, enlightenment, and departure of Gautama Buddha from the world of the living.

The New Year is significant in Buddhism. He is better known as Tsagan Sar. It is celebrated differently, depending on the school or direction. For Buddhists, such a celebration is associated with renewal, a new period in life. This festive event is held quite brightly and beautifully.

The main traditions in Judaism

Considering important holidays and customs related to religion, it is worth noting the peculiarities of the traditions and ceremonial events of Jewish Judaism. The most important and significant day in Judaism is the day of God - Saturday, that is, Shabbat. According to tradition, one commandment out of ten is fulfilled.

At this time, you cannot work on the seventh day of the week. Shabbat is a very important ritual that is considered a fundamental part of the Jewish life process. Such a significant day has its own greeting - Shabbat Shalom.

Chuppah is a beautiful holiday in Judaism that celebrates the moment of marriage. The name of the solemn event came from the canopy of the same name, which served to hold a wedding ceremony under it. At the same time, people sing songs, dance, and perform ancient rituals aimed at the protection and well-being of the newlyweds.

Passover is another important and interesting holiday, which in Russian means Easter.

Shavuot is a holiday event held to commemorate God's presentation of the Ten Commandments from the Bible to Moses.

The world of traditions, rituals, holidays, and religions of various peoples coexisting on one planet is diverse and amazing.

If we talk about different holidays, traditions, customs and rituals of the world, we should remember that they are all deeply rooted in the past, carrying with them messages from ancestors and other generations. They also fully reflect the culture, religion and spiritual heritage of a particular people.

Throughout human civilization, these rituals were not only passed on from generation to generation, but also improved, modified, supplemented, and some elements were abolished. But, in general, the essence and purpose of each ritual fully reflects their importance and necessity to this day. Many rituals and holidays have reached us unchanged.

Among the Slavs

Perhaps it’s worth starting with the traditions and customs of the Slavic peoples. They have passed through centuries, time, changed a little, something was lost; but, one way or another, such traditions are preserved even now, rituals are still carried out. The most ancient of all Slavic rituals are associated precisely with paganism.

After all, at some time it became very necessary for people; supposedly, it could explain the essence of human existence on earth, his purpose, and so on. For many religions that appeared after it, it became the main basis.

From the history

Prince Vladimir also established the pre-Christian pantheon of Slavic gods, which included male and female gods, and many rituals of that time were associated with their name. The deity Makosh was very well known in those days. It was considered the mother of good harvest and abundance.

The most ancient rite of the Slavs is associated with this deity. This was celebrated at the end of October and beginning of November, every year in the fall. It was these gatherings that kicked off preparations for winter. Celebrations were held in honor of Mokosh. All Slavic peoples paid tribute to this deity and tried to appease him.

Gifts were also given, there were even sacrifices. All this was done so that next year Makosha could help with a good harvest and a generally favorable outcome of summer gardening.

Basically, all festive Slavic rituals of that time were aimed exclusively at agriculture. After all, the peasants were dependent on their land, and the harvest was very important for existence and life.

Ancient rituals and traditions

Traditions such as visiting the graves of deceased relatives on great church holidays - Radonitsa, Trinity, St. Demetrius Saturday - have been preserved to this day. It was from these customs that it was necessary to remember relatives at the graves, leave them food and drinks, and light candles. The ancient customs also include the currently relevant Holy Thursday and Christmastide.

On Christmastide, deceased relatives are remembered at home. But as for Thursday, you need to have a “clean” day, clean the apartment well, wash yourself thoroughly, you can go to the bathhouse. This is explained by the fact that in this way the souls of the deceased are washed and warmed.

The ancient Russian rite of Maslenitsa is also relevant in our time. It also has its roots deep in the history of the Slavic peoples. At that time, the cult of ancestors and the idea of ​​fertility were very widely developed. And Maslenitsa is very well connected with commemoration. That’s why even now they cook pancakes, take them to the graves of the dead, and remember them there, at home.

Sometimes fist fights were held on Maslenitsa, which were held right on the street; Other public outdoor competitions were also popular. If we talk about ancient Christian rituals, then we should definitely mention the rite of remembrance of the deceased.

Also the rite of Baptism, Wedding. And the ceremony of marriage itself also came to us from ancient times. Many even prefer to follow those traditions rather than modern ones.
