"The Exorcism" refers to the religious practice of expelling evil spirits or demons from a person or place. This ritual is often associated with various faiths, particularly within Christianity, where it is performed by a priest or minister. The process typically involves prayers, holy water, and sacred symbols to drive out the malevolent entity. The concept gained widespread attention through popular culture, notably in films like The Exorcist, which depicts a young girl possessed by a demon. Such portrayals have sparked discussions about the nature of possession, mental health, and the effectiveness of exorcism as a spiritual intervention.
