| Ritual |
|
| An action performed according to a prescribed manner. |
| Bahá'u'lláh eliminated elaborate religious rites, although He prescribed certain simple ones such as the marriage ceremony and the observances connected with burial and the obligatory prayers. Shoghi Effendi, through his secretary, explained: 'Bahá'u'lláh has reduced all ritual and form to an absolute minimum in His Faith. The few forms that there are — like those associated with the two longer obligatory prayers, are only symbols of the inner attitude.'23 |
