This study is about which opinion active teachers are having when it comes to integrate religious traditions and ceremonies in their teaching. The aim is to study the religious traditional ceremonies part and how they are being defined in the Swedish classrooms in primary school. Together with literature, research and the discussion in this study, I came up to a few conclusions of how religious ceremonies will be integrated and how it looks like in Swedish classrooms. In this study of literature and research overview, the literatures are intended to provide an insight about how the Swedish school system went from a Christian education to a school that was separate from the church. In the chapter called Literature and research overview the literatures are written by scientists and therefore this chapter is based on research. My research in this study contains several surveys based on interviews with four respondents. In the interviews, I used five questions based on the main issues of this study. The result shows that all respondents have a limited integration of religious ceremonies in their teaching, where Christianity has got a more central part educationally. One conclusion of this study is that it is possible to integrate religious traditions in the teaching if they can be justified.
