Adam and Eve
The chiasmus structure of the death oracle given to Adam in Genesis 3 : 19 , is a link between man 's creation from `` dust '' ( Genesis 2 : 7 ) to the `` return '' of his beginnings : '' you return , to the ground , since from it you were taken , for dust you are , and to dust , you will return . ''
Piñata
Traditionally in Mexico , especially at Christmas , piñatas are filled with fruit and candies such as guavas , oranges , jicamas , pieces of sugar cane , tejocotes and wrapped candies . Some piñatas are `` traps '' filled with flour , confetti or water . Special baskets of treats may be given to children who come up empty handed after a piñata is broken . These are called colaciónes and are given to prevent hurt feelings .
Crossing the Red Sea
God causes the pharaoh to pursue the Israelites with chariots , and he overtakes them at Pi - hahiroth . When the Israelites see the Egyptian army they are afraid , but the pillar of fire and the cloud separates the Israelites and the Egyptians . At God 's command Moses holds his staff out over the water , and throughout the night a strong east wind divides the sea , and the Israelites pass through with a wall of water on either side . The Egyptians pursue , but at daybreak God clogs their chariot - wheels and throws them into a panic , and with the return of the water the pharaoh and his entire army are destroyed ( see Psalm 136 : 15 ) . When the Israelites see the power of God they put their faith in God and in Moses , and sing a song of praise to the Lord for the crossing of the sea and the destruction of their enemies . ( This song , at Exodus 15 , is called the Song of the Sea ) .

She felt her culture taught that it was wrong for her to improve herself but despite the setbacks , she continued on her journey .
Christmas traditions
On December 31 , New Year 's Eve ( Tagalog : Bisperas ng Bagong Taon ; Spanish : Víspera del Año Nuevo ) , Filipino families gather for the Media Noche or midnight meal -- a feast that is also supposed to symbolize their hopes for a prosperous New Year . In spite of the campaign against firecrackers , many Filipinos still see these as the traditional means to greet the New Year . The loud noises and sounds of merrymaking are also supposed to drive away bad spirits . Safer methods of merrymaking include banging on pots and pans and blowing on car horns . Folk beliefs also include encouraging children to jump at the stroke of midnight in the belief that they will grow up tall , displaying circular fruit and wearing clothes with dots and other circular designs to symbolize money , eating twelve grapes at 12 midnight for good luck in the twelve months of the year , and opening windows and doors during the first day of the New Year to let in good luck .

Shofar
During the Ottoman and the British rule of Jerusalem , Jews were not allowed to sound the shofar at the Western Wall . After the Six Day War , Rabbi Shlomo Goren famously approached the Wall and sounded the shofar . This fact inspired Naomi Shemer to add an additional line to her song Jerusalem of Gold , saying : `` a shofar calls out from the Temple Mount in the Old City . ''

SS Great Britain
After the banquet and the toasts , he left for the naming ceremony . It had already been decided that the christening would be performed by Clarissa ( 1790 -- 1868 ) , wife of Philip John Miles ( 1773 -- 1845 ) and mother of Bristol 's MP , Philip William Skinner Miles ( 1816 -- 1881 ) , a director of the company . She stepped forward , grasped the champagne bottle and swung it towards the bows . Unfortunately the steam packet Avon had started to tow the ship into the harbour and the bottle fell about 10 feet ( 3.0 m ) short of its target and dropped unbroken into the water . A second bottle was rapidly obtained and the Prince hurled it against the iron hull .
Steve Johnson and Kayla Brady

Crossing the Red Sea
The narrative contains at least three and possibly four layers . In the first layer ( the oldest ) , God blows the sea back with a strong east wind , allowing the Israelites to cross on dry land ; in the second , Moses stretches out his hand and the waters part in two walls ; in the third , God clogs the chariot wheels of the Egyptians and they flee ( in this version the Egyptians do not even enter the water ) ; and in the fourth , the Song of the Sea , God casts the Egyptians into tehomat , the mythical abyss .
History of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Several controversial proposals by President Ahmadinejad and conservatives have not come to fruition . Plans to encourage larger families , to encourage polygamy by permitting it despite the opposition of a husband 's first wife ; and to put a tax on Mahriyeh -- a stipulated sum that a groom agrees to give or owe to his bride which is seen by many women `` as a financial safety net in the event a husband leaves the marriage and is not forced to pay alimony '' -- have not gone anywhere .
Eid al-Adha
Abraham had shown that his love for God superseded all others : that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dearest to him in submission to God 's command . Muslims commemorate this ultimate act of sacrifice every year during Eid al - Adha . While Abraham was prepared to make an ultimate sacrifice , God ultimately prevents the sacrifice , additionally signifying that one should never sacrifice a human life , especially not in the name of God .
Breaking the Waves
Dodo and Jan 's doctor agree the only way to keep Bess safe from herself is to have her committed , and as far away from her husband as possible . It is then that Bess decides to make what she thinks is the ultimate sacrifice for Jan : she unflinchingly goes out to a derelict ship full of barbarous sailors , who rape and violently attack her , to which she ultimately succumbs . The church refuses to give a funeral for her and damns her soul to hell . Unbeknownst to the church elders , Jan and his friends have substituted bags of sand for Bess 's body inside the sealed coffin . Jan is later shown burying her in the ocean , in deep grief but substantially restored to health despite the doctors not having thought such possible . The film ends in magical realism as Bess 's body is nowhere to be seen on the sonar , and church bells ring from on high in the sky .
Birthday cake
Though the exact origin and significance of the candle blowing ritual is unknown , there are multiple theories which try to explain this tradition .
Tokyo Godfathers
Outside a cemetery , the group encounters a high - ranking yakuza trapped under his car . The man happens to know the owner of the club Kiyoko 's mother used to work in ; his daughter is getting married to the club owner that day . At the wedding , the groom tells them that the baby 's mother is a former bar girl named Sachiko .

The hit man kidnaps Miyuki and the baby and takes them back to his home . There , Miyuki befriends the hit man 's wife and shows her some pictures of her family .
Toast (honor)
May the road rise to meet you . May the wind be always at your back . May the sun shine warm upon your face . And rains fall soft upon your fields . And until we meet again , May God hold you in the hollow of His hand .
Vespers
On major feast days , the artoklasia is performed , at which the priest will bless five loaves of bread which have been prepared in the center of the church , together with wheat , wine and oil . These will be distributed to the faithful later in the service ( if it is an All - Night Vigil ) . Then Psalm 33 ( 34 ) is read up to the verse `` O fear the Lord , all ye his saints ; for there is no want to them that fear him . '' The next verse `` Rich men have turned poor and gone hungry , but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good thing '' is chanted . The dismissal is given by the priest . If it is an All - Night Vigil this is a simple blessing by the priest ; otherwise , it is the full dismissal sequence .
Belshazzar's feast
King Belshazzar holds a great feast for a thousand of his lords , and commands that the Temple vessels from Jerusalem be brought in so that they can drink from them , but as the Babylonians drink , a hand appears and writes on the wall . Belshazzar calls for his magicians and diviners to interpret the writing , but they are unable even to read them . The queen advises Belshazzar to send for Daniel , renowned for his wisdom . Daniel is brought in , and the king offers to make him third in rank in the kingdom if he can interpret the writing . Daniel declines the honour , but agrees to the request . He reminds Belshazzar that Nebuchadnezzar 's greatness was the gift of God , and that when he became arrogant God threw him down until he learned humility : `` the Most High God has sovereignty over the kingdom of mortals , and sets over it whomever He will . '' Belshazzar has drunk from the vessels of God 's Temple and praised his idols , but he has not given honour to God , and so God sent this hand and wrote these words :
Sawing a woman in half
Several volunteers are recruited from the audience . One or more of these people are invited to tie ropes around the assistant 's wrists , ankles and neck . The assistant then steps into a wooden crate or box , which is similar in proportion to but slightly larger than a coffin . The ropes are threaded through holes in the box and the ends are given to volunteers , who are instructed to pull them tight and keep hold of them ( the neck rope has an added knot to prevent the assistant being strangled ) . The assistant is thus secured in a standing spreadeagle position in the box . The box is then closed and lifted into a horizontal position on a set of trestles . The magician then slides glass plates through the crate ( and apparently through his assistant ) .
List of smoking bans in the United States
No statewide smoking ban . Instead , Oklahoma 's statewide smoking law prohibits smoking in any indoor workplaces -- including restaurants and hotels -- unless a separate ventilation system under negative pressure is installed for ventilating the smoking area , but permits smoking without limitation in bars , private clubs , bingo halls , retail tobacco stores , small family - owned workplaces , workplaces occupied exclusively by smokers , veterans ' halls , and designated employee smoking areas . The Oklahoma law expressly preempts local governments from enacting any local smoking regulations that are not exactly the same as the state law . In February 2009 , a committee of the Oklahoma Senate rejected a proposed ban on smoking in all enclosed workplaces , including bars and restaurants , and a similar bill before the Oklahoma House of Representatives failed when it was denied a committee hearing . In May 2009 , a bill before the Oklahoma House of Representatives to repeal the preemption on stricter local smoking regulation failed when it did not receive a committee hearing .

List of smoking bans in the United States
Statewide smoking ban excluding bars : On January 1 , 2007 , SB 742 went into effect , banning smoking in all schools , workplaces , and public places , including restaurants . The law exempts bars ( food establishments where the majority of sales are derived from alcohol ) , private residences and automobiles except those when used as a healthcare or childcare facility , limousines under private hire , designated hotel / motel smoking rooms , retail tobacco shops , outdoor areas , private and semiprivate rooms of nursing homes occupied exclusively by smokers , casino gaming floors , workplaces of tobacco - related businesses such as manufacturers and distributors , convention and banquet facilities rented out to a private party , designated areas in nursing homes , and correctional facilities ( until August 1 , 2009 ) . Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state . Prior to this ordinance , six localities had smoking provisions that exempted restaurants , but were later superseded by the Act once it had gone into effect , and localities were prohibited from regulating or prohibiting smoking in bars and restaurants as well . Universities in Louisiana now prohibit smoking anywhere on campus . This includes but is not limited to cigarettes , cigars and e-cigarettes as well as smokeless tobacco products . This went into effect Aug 1st 2014 for most universities in accordance with Act 211 of the 2013 Louisiana State Legislative session . Since 2009 , attempts to further ban smoking statewide in Louisiana have failed every year before the Louisiana State Legislature . In June 2009 , the Louisiana House of Representatives rejected ending the exemption for bars and casinos by a vote of 79 -- 21 . In May 2010 , a House committee rejected a bill to ban smoking in casinos , and then rejected a bill to ban smoking in bars , casinos , and the remainder of restaurants that the Louisiana Senate had passed by a vote of 23 -- 12 . In June 2011 , the Senate rejected a bill to ban smoking in bars by a vote of 22 -- 15 . In May 2012 , the Senate rejected a bill to prohibit smoking within 25 feet ( 7.6 m ) of all places where smoking is banned by a vote of 18 - 12 , and instead chose to amend the bill to prohibit smoking within 25 feet ( 7.6 m ) of entrances to state - owned government buildings .
