Every religion is understood as a belief system that serves faith and is the basis for regulating human behavior, presupposes a set of practices or rituals, practiced by those who profess it, to strengthen it. Next, the Christian rites are performed. Some of you are new to Christian rituals. So what are the typical 6 rituals of a Christian? Learn about these rituals with me.
1. Baptism
One of the most popular rites of Christianity is baptism, where a child from a creature of God becomes a child of God; Through this rite, the person is initiated into the Christian faith. This ritual should be performed in the first months of a child's life. However, at any stage of life, if desired, this sacrament can be accessed.
This rite was used as a symbol of the cleansing of sins as well as of the believer's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. For Christians, pouring or washing with water implies being cleansed of their sins, while the rite of immersion in water is symbolic of the cleansing of sins and co-burial with Christ. Celebrating Baptism in public is a statement of an individual's faith, and demonstrates his or her union with Christ in the covenant with God.
2. Submition

It is said that here in this ritual the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, becomes important. This ritual strengthens the faith of the initiate.
3. Atonement
Repentance, also known as confession, is a practice through which parishioners express repentance for having sinned, either by omission, thought, or deed. Confession stirs divine grace in the believer and this becomes a shield against all evil, keeping him away from sin.
4. Eucharist

Ritual also known as Communion or consecration to God, is the place where individuals receive God's grace against the sins that beset them, whether they are unjust or not.
5. Marriage

6. The Sacrament of Order
This procedure in Christian rites allows for the union of those who wish to be full-time servants of God, i.e. they become ministers of worship, they become instruments, instrument, or channel that serves as communication between God the Father and the rest of mankind. The Sacrament of Holy Orders is administered on three levels: the Bishop, the Presbyterate, and the Diaconate.
For bishops: at this level, the aim is to train the main evangelizer (Bishop) who must have a deep knowledge of the Christian religious liturgy, as this role emulates that of the Holy Apostles. For the Head: at this level, priests are involved, as collaborators of the bishops, as they must risk the sacraments of the church, and teach for sanctification.
These church officials often prefer to stay with the poorest, most needy people of the parish, if this is the case, they are also called vicars. As for the Diaconate level, it seeks to guide people to collaborate in the work of Bishops and Priests, for example in the performance of marriages, baptisms, and funerals, among others.
