Couple Rings Set - The genesis of a PERMANENT SYMBOL
SYMBOLISM OF THE WORLD'S THIRD-OLDEST LOVE Ritual: From THE FIRST LOOK TO THE EXCHANGE OF WEDDING Rings. What does this dazzling ring SHOW?
One of the most powerful feelings on the day of the wedding is when the first glance is exchanged as the couple walks down the aisle wearing a white dress to reach the bride's future husband.
The exchange of rings is an occasion of great emotion, which makes the marriage official between the spouses. The exchange of wedding rings during the ceremony is a gesture full of solemnity. It can bring with it a great deal of emotion for the couples and for everyone else who are there; it is the moment in which an agreement of love is sealed to be observed for the rest of eternity.
The ring, which is derived from the Latin anulus, which is a Latin word meaning circle it is circular in its shape and has no beginning or end. It represents the circle of eternity and life.
It's not a coincidence that it is the symbol used to symbolize the inexplicably strong love that unites two people.
From the Latin fides comes the term "faith" which refers to loyalty. Fides was the name of an ancient Roman goddess who represented loyalty. The meaning of the name, which was first discovered and was ancient, was related to the loyalty of a Roman citizen to his home.
The story of wedding rings as an object is akin to the more general one of using rings to symbolize something significant.
The ancient Egyptians included, for instance, made seals that depicted scarabs and hieroglyphics to rings, while Greeks had gold rings that were decorated with cameos or engravings. The ancient Romans were the first to regulate the use of these jewelry. Rings of free citizens had to be made of gold, the ones of freed servants of silver and slaves of iron. Christians soon adopted the habit of wearing jewelry, and later in the Middle Ages, the custom of presenting rings to bishops or kings at the time of their coronation and consecration was introduced.
By tradition, pontiffs still receive the so-called "piscatory ring", depicting the boat of St. Peter surrounded by the name of the Pope.
The popularity of this ornament reached its peak during the 16th century. People wore one or more rings on their fingers, often with an inscription or seal, or with stones.
Rings are used for wedding ceremonies and engagement vows is also a long history. Already in the barbarian era, couples exchanged a ring to signify their commitment to confirm their promise of love. In the Middle Ages, however, women had the habit of braiding their own hair as well as that of their husband around the ring, and kept it with them for 9 days in their chests at a heart level before giving it away on their wedding day as a sign of love and fidelity. The wedding ring has the design and meaning that we associate with it today since the 16th century. It was during this time that the tradition for both genders of keeping the wedding ring on the fingers even after the wedding ceremony has been established. Wedding rings are forged in gold, as a symbol of eternality for the Catholic religion. Inside the ring, we see the first engravings that include the names of the spouses and the date of the wedding.
The gold ring gives the wearer the virtues for an ideal and long-lasting union.
To know why the ring is the best one to wear, it is necessary to look back to the ancient Egyptian beliefs. According to these beliefs the artery is small and runs from the ring to the heart. In Christian tradition, however, it was the left ring finger that the priest touched after touching the three fingers to invoke the Father the Son, Father and the Holy Spirit.
The wedding ring is typically placed on the left ring finger to make it practical. It is the finger that is most used and therefore is the weakest.
There is a long-standing Chinese belief that every finger on the hand represents the person you love dearly. The small finger represents our children The middle finger represents us the thumb represents our parents The index finger represents our sisters and brothers, and the ring represents the person who is our partner.
