Rites of Passage

Do you have any rites of passage in your created culture?

Are there different rites of passage for different genders or subcultures or social statuses? Are there elaborate ceremonies that lots of people are invited to or very personal ones, like a quest where no one else is allowed to attend?

Are there multiple rites of passage, besides coming of age? Is there a rite of passage for entering a profession or for leaving one? Are there religious only rites of passage or educational ones? Any others I didn't mention or think of?

I've been thinking about it and thought I'd toss this one out for the comm. :)
