What rituals and practies are associated with Christianity?

Answer 1

First, Christianity is not a monolithic faith. There are about 200 different denominations of Christianity, ranging from more traditional and conservative (such as Catholics or Evangelical Baptists) to more liberal and progressive (Unitarian-Universalists). There are also two basic strands of Christianity-- Catholicism and Protestantism. Each has some differences in practice, creed, and dogma. Some are opposed to divorce; others allow it. The more traditional Christians believe the Bible must be obeyed as it was written, and it must also be interpreted literally; but liberal Christians tend to believe the Bible is mainly a text about ethics and can thus be adapted to any age, but does not need to be taken literally. Some traditional denominations believe women cannot become religious leaders; others believe women can in fact lead the congregation. It really depends on which denomination you are asking about.

That said, all Christian faiths revolve around the teachings of Jesus, and the belief that he was the Christ (the promised Messiah). Some Christians believe Jesus is God (the second person of the Trinity-- God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit); most believe he is the Son of God, who died on the cross and miraculously rose from the dead. Most Christians believe that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for the sins of humanity and his death provides believers with forgiveness of sins. Some of the more liberal denominations (such as Unitarianism) believe Jesus is not necessarily divine, but he is a great teacher and a role model of piety, self-sacrifice, and ethics. Many Christians believe the essence of Christian faith is the verse from the Gospel of John (3:16): For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Christians believe in the New Testament as their scripture (most also accept the Old Testament, or Hebrew Bible, but believe it has been superceded by the message of the New Testament). Most Christians believe that following the teachings of Jesus (and his apostles), putting one's faith in Jesus, and living a Christ-like life will help believers to gain the Kingdom of Heaven. There are many different rituals in Christianity, but nearly all Christians have a ceremony called the Mass, in which the sacrifice of Jesus is recalled. Many Christians observe Easter (when it is believed he rose from the dead) and Christmas (when it is believed he was born). Other Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses, for example) believe these are pagan holidays and since they are not mentioned in the Bible, they should not be observed. The Christian house of worship is called a church. Catholics call their religious leaders "priests" and Protestants call their religious leaders "ministers."

Answer 2

Christianiy does not have no Rituals except Baptism my friend.

Galatians 4:09-11

But now that you know God or rather are known by God how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.

I think Christianity has two rituals/ordinances:

1. Baptism of believers - Jesus told his disciples to:

Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

2. Breaking of bread/communion - Paul wrote this to the Corinthian Church (he was speaking about Jesus):

1Co 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

1Co 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

1Co 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Answer 3

Christianity is not really an organized religion but more a belief in Jesus Christ and his teachings as recorded in The Bible. Organized Christian religions include Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, and others. As far as practices and rituals, each Christian religion has its own different and individual practices and rituals. For example, Roman Catholics baptize by sprinkling the baby with water and anointing with oil, but Baptists baptize upon informed request by fully immersing the parishoner in water.
