The First Group I Identify Myself With Is Christianity

The first group I identify myself with is Christianity. The artifacts I consider to be important for this group are God, Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection, and religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas. God, because without Him, as Christians believe, we would not be here and/or there would be no meaning to life. We believe God to be the creator of life and the author of life and without Him, our time on Earth would be meaningless. Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection is another very important artifact because without Him and these events, humans would be unable to fully devote their live to God and live their life accordingly while having a guarantee that Heaven is our final destination after death. Finally, Religious holidays are important because they help remind us of the reasons for celebrating Jesus’ life and God giving us His Son and only Son to redeem the world of all our sins and transgressions. The second group I identify wit h is my church. I helped start this church two years ago and have since moved into a volunteer that helps set up, produce, and tear down during our weekly Sunday services. Some of the artifacts that are important for this group are the church itself, the pastors, volunteers, and the equipment we use to ensure the service is set up and operates in a functional manner. I say the church because, without it, the pastors, volunteers and congregation would not be unified together on a weekly basis andShow MoreRelatedMy Cultural Identity : The Cayman Islands943 Words   |  4 PagesMy Cultural Identity I was born and raised in the Cayman Islands.
