Features: Christian liturgical festivals are an important part of Christian culture. Their development and evolution have moved from spontaneous to institutionalized processes, continuously absorbing religious and cultural factors from various ancient ethnic groups. The 16th-century Reformation movement impacted the traditional rituals of the Catholic Church. The Protestantism that separated from the Roman Curia emerged with a trend of simplification. After industrialization, the rituals of various Christian denominations gradually moved away from theology, tending towards secularization and cultural pluralism. This cultural transformation reflects, to some extent, the broader trend of Christian ritual culture moving from conflict and collision towards communication and integration.
