Solemnity

Okay kiddo, do you know what it means to be very serious and respectful? That's kind of what solemnity means. It's when people show a lot of respect and seriousness during an important event or ceremony.

For example, when we go to church, it's important to show solemnity because we are there to worship and show respect for God. During solemn occasions like weddings or funerals, we also dress nicely and behave respectfully to show that we understand the importance of these events.

So basically, solemnity means that we act in a very respectful and serious way during important events or ceremonies. It's like showing your best manners and behavior.
