It's very helpful that you posted the procedure of the ceremony of twelve, but doesn't it have to be singular so ceremony instead of ceremonies?
ReplyDeleteAnyway good job ^^
You give all important and mentioned facts in the book of the Ceremonies. I like it because it's cleary arranged and if you search something you can find it very fast.
ReplyDeleteWell done! :)
I have to agree with Caroline. And I'm curious about picture you would find fitting with these ceremonies. By the way - do you think that it's a logical order / generally a good thing to arrange things in life like that? The naming ceremony sounded a bit strange to me, to be honest...
ReplyDeleteYeah the naming-part is weird.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it would be better if the parents get their kids in the normal way, so they can choose the names and then the child is conceived in love.
I don't know if it is good to arrange things in life like that, because you don't have to think about your future, but maybe it would be better if you choose such things, because its your life and nobody else's.
