Question:
Region influences Culture versus Globalization of Culture on the Catholic Religion)
What kind of arguments you learned could explain the existence and maintenance of extreme regional differences in these processions (culture)? You might use counterarguments and ask which forces created and maintained a similar culture (Catholicism) in such different regions of the World.
* It can be stated that religion is a strong component of culture. Depending of time and place we might even say religion defined culture. Every religion has rituals. Processions are one form of a ritual. Let’s take Catholicism since you might be familiar with this Cristian denomination. I provide you some images I took at an Easter Friday procession in the Philippines and some I took at the Fronleichnamsprozession in Germany.?
