We don't all have the same interests and persuasions and religion is more important to some than to others. We are all very different people. Whatever floats your boat.
Point well taken Gracie, especially the " The tradition of doing this is joyful to many". I certainly enjoy ceremonial events that are in line with my personal interests and hobbies. Nice post.
