→"Service" as a gloss for "matsuri": corrected "New Year's Service" to New Year's Day Service
=== "Service" as a gloss for "matsuri" ===
It may also be useful to mention that "service" is often a gloss for [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%A5%AD 祭] (''matsuri'' or ''sai'', often rendered as "festival" in non-Tenrikyo literature) for terms that are not necessarily specifically referred to as "tsutome." To give examples:
*''gantan-sai'' = "[[New Year's Day Service]]"
*''hokoku-sai'' = "[[dedication service]]" (of a church construction)
:*''chinza hokoku-sai'' = "enshrinement service"
