Solemn ceremonies (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rites

'solemn ceremonies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rites that I've seen before include "formal procedure" , "Prescribed religious ceremonies" , "Ceremonial forms" , "Social customs" , "Ceremonies or services" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday and The Times.
