Parents play an important role in purity ceremonies. It is important for parents to be present at their child’s purity ceremony. Children need their parents support as they take on a vow to stay abstinent and pure. Purity rings (or other purity items) are often presented to a child by their parents. This shows that the parents support and want to help their child in this decision.
However, it is very important that parents help their children understand the importance of a purity vow before it is made. Parents should also make sure that their child is ready and mature enough to make the purity vow. Children need to understand the weight and importance of the purity vow that they will be making before they make the vow.
