Tradition is a word originating from the Latin term tradition, which means "deliver" or "hand on". The tradition is the streaming in mores, behaviors, memoirs, rumors, beliefs, legends, for people from a community, and the transmitted elements become part of the culture.
For something to establish itself as a tradition, it takes a long time for the habit to be created. Different cultures and even different families have different traditions. Some celebrations and parties (religious or not) are part of the tradition of a society. Often certain individuals follow a particular tradition without even thinking about the true meaning of the tradition in question.
Within the scope of ethnography, tradition reveals a set of customs, beliefs, practices, doctrines, laws, which are transmitted from generation to generation and which allow the continuity of a culture or a social system.
In the context of Right, tradition consists of real delivery of a thing for the purposes of the contractual transfer of its property or possession between living persons. The legal situation results from a factual situation: delivery. However, tradition may not be material but only symbolic.
religious tradition
For many religions, tradition is the foundation, preserved orally or in writing, of their knowledge about God and the World, their cultural or ethical precepts.
In the case of Catholicism, for example, there is a distinction between oral tradition and scripture, both of which are considered common sources of divine revelation. This doctrine was defined as a dogma of faith in the Councils of Trent in 1546, of Vatican I in 1870, and of Vatican II in 1965. A tradition can be interpreted in many different ways and even today there are contradictions between Protestant and Catholic theologians.
