Islam has many rites of passage that make an adult Muslim. Some are the 5 daily prayers, fasting for the month of Ramadan, and a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Some traditional Italian rites of passage include the "laurea" ceremony upon completing university studies, the "compleanno" celebration for birthdays, and the "matrimonio" ceremony for weddings. Additionally, "battesimo" is a rite of passage for infants in the form of a baptism ceremony.
Rites of passage certainly have their supporters and enthusiasts, as well as detractors and critics. The basic argument against rites of passage is that one can pass into some new status without a rite; for example, if you believe that a Jewish boy acquires the status of adulthood at the age of 13, that can happen with or without a Bar Mitzvah ceremony (much in the way that legally, Americans are considered to be adult at the age of 18, with no ritual being required, it happens automatically). Rites can be considered superfluous. But then, there are those who enjoy them.
A passage is a change in some aspect of one's life. A rite of passage is an activity in which one engages to mark or celebrate a passage. An example of each is found in a graduation. The graduation...leaving the school to embark on other activities such as work or travel...is a passage, the graduation ceremony with the cap and gown is a rite of passage.
Rite of passage often refers to a formal period of testing for young men and women, the successful completion of which allows them to be accepted into the world of adults. They most often have a connection to spirituality, or to the practices of specific religions, like Bar Mitzvah for Jewish boys and Bat Mitzvah for Jewish girls. The rite of Confirmation in some of the more sacramentally oriented churches is similar. In a broader sense, rites of passage can be thought of as any event or period of abrupt and unexpected life transformation that brings the person to a deeper and more mature understanding of what it is to be alive. Many world cultures have various practices related to the maturing of young people into adulthood, and many involve some rigorous, even harrowing requirements.
