The Ceremonies are in PDF file format, which is a pretty standard format. Most web browsers have the ability to view PDFs, you can also download Adobe Acrobat Reader, or use some other PDF reader on your computer.

Note that these were designed to be photocopied back-to-back, so you will find that there are a lot of pages that say "Hic Nihil Deficit" (Latin for effectively "Nothing to see here", a period version of "This page intentionally left blank") -- this is so each ceremony begins on an odd numbered page.

This is the main Table of Contents for the Ceremony Book ...
