Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. An example is the Jewish Passover service in Kerala, India, where a tone of austerity rather than celebration is observed, children have no role, and strict purity rules are observed with regard to the ritual wine.
2. Another example is the adoption of the Last Supper as a central element among Fijian Christians. Elements of it aligned with existing Fijian traditions.
3. Another example is the Eid-ul-Adha ceremony in Isak, Indonesia, where water buffalo may be sacrificed instead of the typical ram, and women have more of a role in the ceremony than in other contexts.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Religious syncretism is the blending of elements from one or more religions.
2. One example is the depiction of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which combines Christian and Aztec elements.
3. Religious pluralism describes a situation where two or more religions exist together, either working in a complementary role or competing for adherents.
4. An example is the beliefs of the Burmese, in which Buddhism covers certain areas of belief, and belief in local spirits covers others.
