This program discusses the significance of rituals, and the necessity for defined sacred space both traditional and nontraditional. Rituals discussed include the Eucharist, or Communion, meditation, and others. The practice of placing the mezuzah at the door of a Jewish home is presented within the context of the home as a sacred space; Buddhist meditation ceremonies are relegated to specific places in the home. And at a community center for East Indians, some space is set aside for religious ceremonies, while the rest is used for secular community activities. The outdoors as a stage for sacred rituals is examined at a Christian Easter sunrise service. (17 minutes)
