Chapter 6 - The Ceremonies

Finally it’s December and the entire community attended the Ceremony each year. The parents get two days off and sat together in the Auditorium.  The children are sitting with their groups until they will go, one by one, to the stage.
Now I will write the procedure of the Ceremonies at the two days.

DAY 1

Ceremony of One: 
-babies receive their names and families

Ceremony of Two:
-Jonas didn’t mention ->boring

Ceremony of Three: 
-children have to attend the morning and evening ritual->share their dreams and feelings

Ceremony of Four: 
-didn’t mention ->boring

Break for midday meal: 
-is served outside

Ceremonies of Five, Six and Seven: 
-not mentioned

Ceremony of Eight:
-receive the identifying jacket
-attends smaller buttons and for the first time pockets
-have to do volunteer hours
-no longer comfort object
-no ribbons anylonger

DAY 2
Ceremony of Nine: 
-get their bicycles with their nametag attached

Ceremony of Ten:
-they get a neatly distinguishing haircut: females lost their braids; males too

Ceremony of Eleven: 
-new clothing: different undergarments for the females; longer trousers with a shaped pocket for the small calculator for the males

Ceremony of Twelve:
-get their assignments

Yeah that was the procedure of the Ceremonies, taking place over 2 days.
Maybe I'll add some pictures later.

  1. 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?
    Anyway good job ^^

  2. 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.
    Well done! :)

  3. 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...

  4. Yeah the naming-part is weird.
    In 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.
