A ceremony (UK /ˈsɛrɪməni/, US /ˈsɛrəˌmoʊni/) is an event of ritual significance, performed on a special occasion. The word may be of Etruscan origin, via the Latin caerimonia.
A ceremony may mark a rite of passage in a human life, marking the significance of, for example:
Other, society-wide ceremonies may mark annual or seasonal or recurrent events such as:
Other ceremonies underscore the importance of non-regular special occasions, such as:
In some Asian cultures, ceremonies also play an important social role, for example the tea ceremony.
In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol comprising a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals. The droplets or particles are suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. On Earth clouds are formed by the saturation of air in the homosphere when air cools or gains water vapor.
Cloud types in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. It was formally proposed in December 1802 and published for the first time the following year. It became the basis of a modern international system that classifies these tropospheric aerosols into several physical forms which can be found at various altitude levels or étages.
The Clouds (Ancient Greek: Νεφέλαι Nephelai) is a Greek comedy play written by the celebrated playwright Aristophanes. A lampooning of intellectual fashions in classical Athens, it was originally produced at the City Dionysia in 423 BC and was not as well-received as the author had hoped, coming last of the three plays competing at the festival that year. It was revised between 420-417 BC and was thereafter circulated in manuscript form.
No copy of the original production survives, and scholarly analysis indicates that the revised version is an incomplete form of Old Comedy. This incompleteness, however, is not obvious in translations and modern performances. Retrospectively, The Clouds can be considered the world's first extant 'comedy of ideas', and is considered by literary critics to be among the finest example of the genre. The play also, however, remains notorious for its caricature of Socrates, and is mentioned in Plato's Apology as a contributor to the philosopher's trial and execution.

Ceremony - Clouds Of Fire (Violence,Violence) (2006) Lyrics: Fall to your knees, line your head in thorns gather the pure souls, turn the water into wine, build a roof of stones with holy hands, spit your venom fall to your knees to pray for the weak.
This Saturday marks nine years since planes hijacked by members of Al Qaeda crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, killing more than 2,700 people. However, this year's September 11 commemoration comes at a time of heightened tension. A pastor, whose church has less than 60 members, has stirred controversy with his much publicised plan for a Quran-burning day on September 11. In addition, the last few months saw several protests against plans to build an Islamic centre in downtown New York two blocks away from the World Trade Centre site. Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey has more from New York.

The last day of April at Foxhall Sporting club was perfect. The preparation was so hard for these two, because all they wanted to do was see each other.... When that time finally came, neither of them were able to hold back the tears. Westin was looking at his beautiful bride that was about to stand in front of her family and closest friends and vow to spend the rest of her life with him. Savannah was standing in front of a man who loves her more than anything else in this world. It was quite a special day, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

On 17th Sept 2016 over 2,000 people marched to save Passing Clouds after it was bought and shut down by developers.
