This contribution contrasts the dichotomization of individualization and communitization of religion, which is still prominent in the social sciences, with a religious phenomenon that shows that religion must be understood beyond the opposition of these spheres. Against the background of a corresponding concept of religion, the popular religion (Knoblauch 2009), which continues Thomas Luckmann’s theory of religion (1967), the concept of Celebrations will be presented. This empirically generated concept relies on self-recorded video data of Christian events in Europe. Celebrations are to be understood as religious events that are based on a specific affective order, which is able to merge the most diverse cultural communicative forms on the level of individual religiosity and community (cf. Haken 2020a, 2020b). Referring to web-based data on the Hindu Kumbh Mela in India, the transferability of the concept of Celebrations is exploratively applied to another religious event.

这一贡献与宗教的个体化和社区化的二分法（其在社会科学中仍然很突出）形成鲜明对比，而宗教现象表明，必须超越这些领域的对立面来理解宗教。在相应的宗教概念的背景下，延续托马斯·拉克曼（Thomas Luckmann）的宗教理论（1967）的大众宗教（Knoblauch 2009），将提出庆祝活动的概念。这个凭经验产生的概念依赖于欧洲基督教事件的自我录制视频数据。庆祝活动应理解为宗教活动它们基于特定的情感秩序，能够在个体宗教和社区层面上融合最多样化的文化交流形式（参见Haken 2020a，2020b）。参照印度Hindu Kumbh Mela上基于网络的数据，庆典的概念的可移植性被探索性地应用于另一宗教活动。
