Traditions and rituals have more to do with superstition...like kissing the cross or rosary beads, making the sign of the cross...sincerely believing does not change wrong into right nor do man-made items have superhuman powers...
"Every man acts unreasonably and without knowledge.
Every metalworker will be put to shame because of the carved image;
For his metal image is a falsehood,
And there is no spirit in them." Jeremiah 10:14
"Although claiming they were wise, they became foolish and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and birds and four-footed creatures and reptiles. Therefore, God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, so that their bodies might be dishonored among them. They exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the Creator, who is praised forever. Romans 1:22-25
