noun
A formal act or ceremony, especially one carried out according to religious or traditional custom.
A rite follows a fixed pattern that a community repeats on particular occasions, such as a wedding rite, a funeral rite, or a rite performed to mark a harvest. Because the steps are set by tradition rather than invented each time, a rite carries a sense of solemnity and shared meaning that an ordinary action lacks.
