The Sikh Ceremony of Taking Amrit

In Religious Education with Mr Spracklen today we learnt about the special Sikh ceremony of taking Amrit. 


We watched the below video where we met eleven-year-old Taran and his brother Joven. They showed us what happened at their Amrit and explained their customs. 

Amrit is made from sugar water stirred with a sword. 

It is blessed and sprinkled on the hair and eyes. 

Amrit can be taken by men, women or children - like Taran and Joven. 

It is taken in the presence of five Khalsa Sikhs, and the holy scriptures, the Guru Granth Sahib.
