Also, by way of another example of sacramental blessings, in the blessing of the mother after birth, though I don't think the Latin Rite has this custom.

In the traditional rite I believe there is.

Yes, that seems to be it.

Yet another liturgical carry-over stemming from Jewish origins. I had never seen or heard of it in the Latin Rite.
