Sacramental orientation

Sacramental orientation

The sacramental orientation emphasizes carrying out rituals and

ceremonies regularly and correctly as the path to salvation; in some religions, correct

ritual is believed to influence the processes of nature. All religions have some degree of

ritual, but the ceremonial tendency is predominant, for example, in most indigenous

religions, in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity, in Vedic Hinduism, and

in Tibetan Buddhism. Making the Catholic sign of the cross, for example, is done in a

certain way: only with the right hand, beginning with a touch on the forehead, then on

one’s chest, and finally on each shoulder, left to right. 11
