Folk Catholicism

Folk Catholicism is like when you believe in God and Jesus, but you also believe in some things that might not be exactly from the Bible. It's like when you have some special prayers or rituals that have been passed down from your family or your community that you think will help you talk to God more easily.

It's kind of like having different flavors of ice cream. You still like the regular vanilla and chocolate, but you also like to add some sprinkles and caramel sauce because it makes it more special to you. Folk Catholicism is just like that - you still believe in God and Jesus, but you also add some special things to make it feel more personal and meaningful to you.

Some people might go to church every Sunday and follow all the rules exactly, but others might do things a little differently to make it feel more special to them. It's all about finding your own way to connect with God in a way that makes you happy and gives you peace.
