ORAL Good good morning, my name is hazelnut Faulkner and today I will discuss a rite of passage, conjugal legal jointure, from the variant Roman Catholic. A ritual is a ceremony that involves different actions, symbols and writings which are p erformed according to a set order.Rituals are apart of everyday manners and can even be as simple as a morning routine. Religious rituals are important as they help adherents connect with their deity. A rite of passage is a ceremony or event that marks a change or transition in someones liveness from one phase to other. They include birth, adolescence, spousal and death. Over the years, scholars of religion have provided ways to analyses rituals. For example, Arnold Van Genes argued that a rite of passage involves three full stops pre-lamina, lamina and post-lamina. Sacred refers to the adherent existence connected o or consecrated to their deity.Profane or secular is the opposite of sacred, it kernel something or someone is not concerned with religion. coupling is a rite of passage and getting matrimonial is an important part of Christians lives. Marriage is a life ache commitment between husband and wife made in the presence of God. Catholics generally have a Nuptial Mas s which involves Eucharist and takes attitude in a church. The transition in marriage is being single to becoming one with your bride or groom. Catholic marriage fits most appropriately into Van Genies modelling and Loves quintet-step approach.The difference between a marriage and a wedding is that the marriage is the life long commitment where as a wedding For the investigation of a Catholic marriage the interviewee was my mother, Sue Faulkner. Her role in the rite of passage was the bride. Some of the questions asked were where did the ritual take place, what symbols were used, what significance did they have and what was the climax of the ritual. The interviewees marriage took place at Villa Maria Chapel in Christopher, New Zealand. The questions helped to find useful information on the ritual and to discover an individuals view on marriage.A Catholic marriage has a clear structure. The first main agent of a Catholic wedding is the wedding procession. It includes the bride wa lking grim the aisle either by herself or with one or both of her parents as well as the wedding party. The symbolism of this element is the base of a change of status and new life. Another element includes the readings from the Old Testament and New Testament. The purpose of the readings is to outline the importance of a Catholic tradition and make the presence of God in the marriage clear.The declaration of intention is also an important part of the wedding. This stage outlines the promises of commitment to each other through and throughout the struggles in marriage. The blessing of rings and exchanging of vows is often seen as the most important part of the wedding as the couple expresses the love they shares for each other and the vows symbolism commitment. Christians believe during the vows Christ becomes present. My interviewee saw this element as the climax of the ritual. The pronouncement of marriage is the stage where the change in status is almost completed.The signing o f the biography is a formal and judicial recognition of the marriage and completes the stage f status for the couple. The recession concludes the ritual ceremony, thus the change of status is final. As stated before, marriage suitably fits into Van Genies model. He argued that there were three stages of a rite of passage, one being pre-lamina. The pre-lamina stage is the first stage in a rite of passage. It involves the separation from the couples previous life. In a Catholic Marriage, the pre-lamina stage involves the bridal procession as it marks a beginning of a new status for the bride.It also involves the declaration of purpose where the non-Christian priest outlines the significance of marriage and its repose in a Catholic context. The lamina stage involves transitioning from one stage to other and is often seen as the most important stage. The lamina stage in a Catholic marriage takes place after the giving away of the bride to the end of the exchanging of rings. The bless ing of rings and exchanging of vows physically marks the change in status and transition. The post lamina stage in a Catholic marriage is the reincorporation stage where the couple is at one time ready to enter society with their new status.The post lamina stage in a Catholic marriage would include the signing of the register where the couple omelets their change in status and the recession where their change in status is Another model that is suitable to show and explain the structure of the ritual is Loves five-step approach. The model includes five steps, the first being the entry in which the participant leaves the nondescript world and enters the ritual. In a Catholic marriage this would include the proposal and declaration. The couple is now engaged and candidates for marriage.The second step is called the preparation in which the couple is involved in some sort of preparatory rite. This would include pre- Raritan counseling. The third is the climax of the ritual, which is t he central, or highpoint of the ritual. In a marriage ceremony, the climax would be the exchanging of rings and vows. My interviewee agreed with this. The forth step includes the exultation which would be the wedding reception and the fifth step is called the return where the participants (bride and groom) leave the ritual and return to the ordinary world.The marriage ceremony marks separation from the ordinary or profane for the couple. The declaration of the couple as husband and Wife displays that they are prepared from the community as they are now married. One element in a Catholic wedding which reinforces doctrinal teachings, is the readings. A putting green reading used is Psalm 1038 which is a responsible psalm. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. The message of the psalm is that the Lord is strain and merciful. The four major rites of passages are birth, adolescence, marriage and death.These passages will happen whether or not they a re adjudge with a ritual. Although, Christians choose to mark them with a special ceremony as they are important ruinations in peoples lives. The models by Van Genes, Turner and Loved are important as they help to break down rites of passages to better understand them. Catholic Marriage fits best into Van Genies model as well as Loves. Marriage is important to Catholics as it promotes the same love that exists in the Holy Trinity and for the procreation of life, another aspect that mirrors the Trinity. Marriage creates a union between spouses.It is a sacrament and an institution created by God. B. scripted SUBMISSION This investigation has helped to expand my knowledge on rituals, rites of passage ND marriage. I learnt that a ritual can be as simple as a morning routine and that there are many varieties of a ritual. Before the investigation, I had only a brief understanding of the models. The investigation helped to give my knowledge on the particular models by Van Genes and Loved . The models helped me also to better the pre-lamina stage (separation), lamina stage (transition), and post-lamina stage (reincorporation).Loves model involves five steps the entry, preparation, climax, celebration and return. These models are not only used for Christian rituals however for tails of any religion. The Buddhist view of marriage is considered a secular affair and is not seen as a religious duty. Buddhism marriage is a personal and social obligation. In Islam, marriage is a legal contract and the religion is a strong advocate for marriage. Referring to Hinduism, Hindus view marriage as a sacrament. They have similar views as Christianity in terms of marriage, believing that marriage is a union and Joins two individuals for life.Judaism also has similar views as marriage is viewed as a bond commanded by God in which a man and woman come together to create a legislations in which God is involved. Also, Jewish married couples are traditionally expected to have children. Australia is a multicultural society and therefore, we have a mix of different religions such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism and many others, which are continually developing in Australian society. This means marriage ceremonies in Australia significantly differ depending on the religion. The participants culture may be expressed through clothing or music.My interviewees wedding did not take place in Australia but New Zealand. Australia ND New Zealand are very similar thus my interviewees wedding did not significantly differ from a traditional Australian wedding. In an Aboriginal marriage ceremony, couples are commonly involved in a traditional smoking ceremony which makes the couple feel cleansed and free, going into the marriage with no bad animate to bring them bad luck and it is also performed to create a lifelong bond between the couple. Marriage in Aboriginal societies is complicated and has puzzled anthropologists for centuries.In a Catholic marriage , the most important or common symbol is the rings. The rings present a never-ending circle of eternal love. They also represent the union and commitment of the couple. Other marriage symbols include the veil, wedding bells, the wedding dress and the bible. Marriage successfully draws participants beyond the ordinary and into the transcendent as it is does not Just simply include the man and woman being in love. It is something larger in which the partners have a special ceremony which expresses the very meaning of their life together.Even though the institution of marriage that binds the couple together is invisible actions such as the stating the vows and exchanging of rings expresses the love and union. Although my speech mostly discusses the wedding ceremony, the preparation of the doesnt Just involve getting the wedding dress, flowers, rings and so on Couples are encouraged to attend pre-marital counseling which helps them prepare for marriage. After the couple is officially m arried, they may ascertain to go on a honeymoon. Also, the couple may decide that they want to have children, as marriage is essentially the ideal foundation for the making of children.The investigation was interesting yet difficult at times. The most challenging part of he investigation was finding what the pre-lamina, lamina and post-lamina stages of a Catholic wedding are. Information on the internet told me that pre-lamina stage of a Catholic wedding is the engagement, lamina is the ceremony and post-lamina is the honeymoon. However, I wanted to find the stages in the specific ceremony, as it was my main focus. The investigation helped me to better understand the concept of a ritual and a wedding ritual.
