Birth, marriage and death: these are the greatest events in human life. Many things, good and bad,can happen to us in our lives. Yet there are three days which are usually marked by some kind of special ceremony: the daywe are born;the day we get married and the day wedie. These are the three main events in life.

Yet all societies share common characteristics.Birth is a time of joy. The proud parents receive congratulations and presents on behalf of the new-born.Marriage is also a time of joy.
