Modern Religious Experience: Personal Commemoration- Reflection #7: "Think of an event in your life- past, present or future. You are going to create a commemorative ritual for this event. First, describe the ..."
I believe that twentieth birthday should have a commemorative ritual. Age twenty is an age for a teenager to turn in to a full grown, independent adult. Twenty years old people are now responsible for their decisions and choices and time they start getting ready to create their own living. The commemoration should last for a week and during the week; the main character of the ritual should able to enjoy teenage life for one last time by making memorable memories such as going to an amusement park.
One should also recite the following vow during the ritual: “I, a fledgling, am now a full grown adult. I am now responsible for my own future paths. I will not blame others for my mistakes nor ask others to take responsibilities for my choices, as I am now responsible for constructing my road to my future.”
The host of the ritual should bow to their parents since they are the one who brought him or her for twenty years until he or she can finally manage on their own. The host should also wear a traditional clothe from their birthplace to remember their place of birth and to thank for their health till the day. The host should provide their favorite food to offer to the table since the ritual is about him or her.
