Religion In Peru

The young male I chose for this interview is from Lima Peru. He is a student and an athlete here at SIUe. He came to SIUe to play sports, more specifically football or as we call it here in the United States, soccer. He is enjoying it quite a lot. This student came to the United States in 2013 and feels that each country has something different to offer.

The three most practiced monotheistic religions- Christianity, Judaism, and Islam- share a belief in one singular God. Each have many similarities -like believing in one God and following sacred texts- as well as differences, such as different holidays and rituals. Although these three religions share similarities, there are more differences between them. Christianity is a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the holy book called the Bible.

The Republic of Chile (Spanish: Republica de Chile) or more commonly known as Chile, has the largest economic systems, and most stable governments from Latin America in comparison to its neighbor countries. Although the country would have not achieved this stability without a problematic history full of struggle and hardship in which in time built the country’s economy and influenced their believes, customs and traditions that today make up the wonderful culture of Chile.

The Incas worshiped gods in their temples. The Incas was a large group of people and most of them went to the temples and worshiped. The Incas were influenced traditions while worshipping. The Incas have 10,000,000 people in their population. The chaska owned one of the temples. The priest aided the aulas only. Earthquakes were important to the Incas.

My essay is going to be about the country chile and how they celebrate the holiday.in their country. Their traditions are quite similar to the United states and Mexico.

Religion was a major impact for the Incas, as with many other ancient cultures, inextricable from history, politics, or society in general. All sides of community life were connected to religious beliefs, from government to burials, marriages to farming. Any failure or success of any kind in a Incas life was suspected to be due by the influence of the gods. Keeping the gods pleased was exercised, for they evade the wrath of the gods in the form of natural disasters, and was a very important for religious practice.

Peru is a country that has diverse regions ranging from plains to mountainy regions and also the rain forest jungle. It offers a wide variety of sites to its visitors and especially Peru is famous for the family adventures. And every visitor who wishes to go for the adventure with his family must introduce to the Amazon Jungle and Machu Picchu in Peru to his kids where each family member will enjoy the wild life scenes and exploring the valley.

Religions of Latin American Countries are heavily rooted in Christianity and mainly Catholicism. While Catholics in Argentina number anywhere from 70% to as much as 90%, only about 20-25% of them attend church services regularly. Argentina sustains the Roman Catholic religion but guarantees freedom of religion. Protestants make up about 8% of the Argentinian population. There are other religions is Argentina, including Judaism, Islam and Mormonism, all of these religions make up about one percent each.

Religious practices in the Inca society consisted of sacrifices and worshiping their gods. Sacrifices happened for their gods and goddesses during worship. They would normally sacrifice small children in the mountains because they were considered the purest of beings. (This would be located in the center because this is important). The Incas were polytheistic,this is important to know because this is supposedly why the Inca make sacrifices of the young beings. Their main god was Viracocha because they believed that he made the earth,stars,moon,and sun.This is why the Inca had sacrifice,to give back to him or just to worship other gods and or goddesses.The Incas emperors were considered to be demigods because they were all knowing and wise.

I think it’s important to begin with a basic understanding of Islam. The foundation of Islam is the worship one God, Allah, and submission to Him. Muslims believe that God doesn’t need humanity nor be worshipped, but people need God. This human need for God gives purpose to the religion and individual followers. To fulfill this need for Allah, Muslims are required to worship five times a day at dawn, noon, late afternoon, evening and night. During each time of worship, Muslims follow rakat, which are series of ordained movements. One praying begins standing, then bows and goes on their knees, then lies prostrate on the ground. Each time of prayer requires a different amount of rakats, but usually only needs three to five minutes to complete. It is common to complete an act of purification/absolution, called wudu before staring the rakat. This helps them focus their mind on Allah and His goodness. Additional short prayers known as dua are

The popularity of crime in certain regions of the world has created an atmosphere in which culture forms around crime. However, the culture that already existed is not erased but rather is juxtaposed with the modern culture. Catholicism in Latin America has formed the culture and the guidelines, which means most cultures are syncretized within Catholicism. Moreover, Catholicism is the faith which has been forced by the colonizers in Latin America, which meant that the indigenous people and others had to adopt this religion, but they also kept parts of their own faith which created something new. This new faith incorporated an element of the indigenous religion, masking them as part of Christianity, for example, the Virgen de Guadalupe. It is

Culture is the aquired knowledge that people use to interpret, experience, and generate social behavior.

The five pillars of Islam are the basics of the Muslim life. The first pillar is called the Shahada or Witness. It is a profession of faith that states simply that “there is no god but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the messenger of God.” Someone becomes a Muslim by stating this declaration of faith. It is also used daily in prayers. The second pillar of Islam is called Salat or Prayer. It describes the ritual prayers muslims are called to pray five times throughout the day. The prayers are made in position facing Mecca. The third pillar is called Zakat or Giving. It is the act of charity Muslims do by setting aside about 2.5 percent of their total income and give to the poor. The fourth pillar of Islam is called Swam or Fasting. Every year in the month of Ramadan, (the ninth month of

The religious ritual of prayer is essential to all the followers of Islam. As mentioned before, it is the second pillar of Islam, right after the first pillar being the testimony of faith, by which one becomes a Muslim. A Muslim individual stands in prayer, five times during the day, in order to worship, praise, thank and remember the Almighty. Prayer is also a way of seeking forgiveness for all the bad deeds committed during the day. Prayer can be seen similar to the convenience of having a stream flowing outside one’s front door. If an individual could easily bath in this flowing stream of water five times during the day, he/she will have no filth left on him/her. Likewise, praying five times daily washes away one’s sins. This repeated standing in front of the Almighty keeps an individual away from performing sins, in addition to remembering and fearing God throughout the day. An individual clean heartedly walks away after praying with a feeling of being renewed.
