Highlight the contribution of Van Gennep to the understanding of life-cycle rituals. 

Arnold van Gennep, a French anthropologist and folklorist, made significant contributions to the field of sociology of religion, especially in the study of life-cycle rituals. His work has become foundational in understanding how societies structure and mark key transitions in the lives of individuals, particularly in relation to social and religious rites. Van Gennep’s most influential work, *Les Rites de Passage* (The Rites of Passage), published in 1909, is a key text that explores the role of rituals in human life, highlighting their importance in marking the stages of an individual’s life from birth to death. These rituals are not only social events but also deeply intertwined with religious beliefs and practices.

Van Gennep introduced the concept of "rites of passage" as a way of understanding how individuals and groups move through various stages of life. These rites are social practices that help individuals transition from one phase of life to another, such as from childhood to adulthood, from unmarried to married, or from life to death. According to Van Gennep, these rituals play a crucial role in maintaining social order and cohesion, particularly in societies that emphasize communal identity and belonging.
