Answer 2

Symbols play a significant role in festivals as they help communicate cultural values, beliefs, and traditions. They can create a sense of identity and unity among participants, as well as evoke specific emotions and memories associated with the festival. Symbols also help to distinguish one festival from another and provide a visual representation of its significance.

Answer 4

Religious festivals are held to honor the god(s)/goddess(es) and to commemorate important events/people from the history of the religion.

Religious festivals and holidays are also held to teach the church history and pivital events. This is especially important for children, although the practice had an even more special place in history, for everybody, when most people could not read.

Answer 5

Trying to live with only the material life would risk falling apart all at once, when the soul has not been fed and life suddenly stops smiling!

We the human being are so complicated creatures that we need a guideline (manual) from such a great creator, who made us free to chose and full of potential capabilities.

Therefore, we need to follow the true religion as a reassurance of stability on the good and bad times.

Answer 6

The people who think that religious festivals are not important are usuallyunreligious and are not believers of God (like myself) They do not understand how important it isfor the people to celebrate theseholidays. To them, it is a joyful celebration where they can rejoice with family, friends and loved ones. They can show their respect to their Gods.

Answer 7

I suppose that if we were to get technical about the word then symbols represent something visible that by association or convention represents something else that is invisible. The symbol of the cross reminds us of the death of Christ. The Sacrament is symbolic of His death and resurrection. As explained symbols are to remind us of something that is not present, yet exists or has existed.
