rite of passage

Ritual that accompanies any of the most significant moments or transitions (birth, puberty, marriage, and so on) in an individual's life. For details of rites of passage in world religions, see rites of passage (Buddhism), rites of passage (Christianity), rites of passage (Hinduism), rites of passage (Islam), rites of passage (Judaism), and rites of passage (Sikhism).

The term was coined by the French ethnographer and folklorist Charles-Arnold Kurr van Gennep (1873–1957).
