英文摘要:The study is based on Mircea Eliade and Clifford Geertz’s theories to analyze the religious meanings of historical setting, rituals, and symbols in festivals. In addition, it will discuss two examples in Taiwan, Christmas and Mazu’s Birthday. Through these examples, religious scholars as well as researchers will realize the worldview and ethos of human beings who have participated in religious celebrations. This study includes four chapters: Introduction; Christmas; Mazu’s Birthday Festival; and Concluding Reflections.
