Is the English phrase "rite of passage" translated literally into Spanish as "rito de pasaje" or is there an idiomatic interpretation of the English phrase?

My big paper dictionary gives these choices:

Rite of passage = el rito de paso, el rito de tránsito

Like a ritual/ceremony/tradition to mark a transition in your life. Baptism would be a good example. - TheSilentHero, Apr 13, 2010
