Perhaps we should look at some of these. Of course we'd need ones for the boys too.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6992','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> There are many secular rites of passage: first shave, first wet dream and so on.

But secular society hasn't come up with alternatives yet. The East Germans used to have the equivalent of a secular confirmation (<i>Jugendweihe</i> - youth dedication). As far as Iknow, the Humanist Society there has adopted that one. The Romans gave young fellas a toga. And so on. But, like many other things, it has become a commercialised debtfest rather than having any social or pious meaning for many. That's life.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6990','aonghus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> @Primal Sneeze – It’s a rite of passage as well as a religious rite.

Suits and Dresses and other extravagances have nothing to do with the sacrament. Some parishes and schools, my children's included, have tried to side step the fashion show by distributing white, one type fits all, albs. As is commonly done abroad. And encouraging people to overspend is a perverse use of government money; particularly from the same department that has cut the Christmas bonus for pensioners. But then, the current regime has thrived on encouraging us into personal debt.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6985','aonghus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Seconded.
