A comparison between a christian and a Jewish coming of age ceremony?
Jewish Coming-of-Age Ceremonies for their children are called Bar or Bat Mitzvahs(depending upon the sex of the child receiving the ceremony). For the boy, he receives his Bar Mitzvah at age 13 years. For the girl, she receives her Bat Mitzvah usually at 12 years(occasionally 13 too). Bar & Bat Mitzvah Ceremonies are celebrated on the Sabbath Day closest to the birthday of the child receiving the Ceremony. The Sacrament of Confirmation is the Christian Coming-of-Age Ceremony. It is for both boys & girls, & they usually receive this Sacrament approximately between the ages of 12 - 15 years. While Jewish children receive Bar/Bat Mitzvahs individually, Christian children receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in a group. In the Catholic Church, a young Confirmation candidate may choose a Patron Saint for him/herself.
What is the history of coming of age day?
Municipal governments host special coming-of-age ceremonies for 20-year-olds, since an "adult" in Japan is legally defined as one who is 20 or over. They gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday, and they're also allowed to smoke and drink. But along with these rights come new responsibilities as well, and so age 20 is a big turning point for the Japanese.

The second Monday of January is Coming-of-Age Day, a national holiday to encourage those who have newly entered adulthood to become self-reliant members of society.

(The Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Municipal governments host special coming-of-age ceremonies for 20-year-olds, since an "adult" in Japan is legally defined as one who is 20 or over. They gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday, and they're also allowed to smoke and drink. But along with these rights come new responsibilities as well, and so age 20 is a big turning point for the Japanese. Coming-of-age ceremonies have been held since time immemorial in Japan. In the past boys marked their transition to adulthood when they were around 15, and girls celebrated their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. During the Edo period (1603-1868), boys had their forelocks cropped off, and girls had their teeth dyed black. It wasn't until 1876 that 20 became the legal age of adulthood. These days, males generally wear suits to their coming-of-age ceremony, but a lot of females choose to wear traditional furisode - a special type of kimono for unmarried women with extra-long sleeves and elaborate designs. For unmarried women, furisode is about the most formal thing they can wear, and so many of them don it to the event marking the start of their adult life.
