The Wedding Ring LESSON 16
A
t weddings in many parts of the world, brides and grooms give one another wedding rings. These rings remind them of the commitment they made to one another when they got married. They are also a sign to others that they are married.
4
No one knows for sure how this tradition started, but there is evidence that it began long ago, in ancient Egypt. Coins at that time had a hole in the center. An Egyptian groom used to place a coin on his bride’s finger to show that he would take care of her.
Put the events below in the order in which they normally occur. ¬
¬ an engagement
¬
¬ a reception
¬
¬ a honeymoon
¬
¬ a wedding
In many ancient cultures, the circle is a symbol of eternity. The wedding ring has come to symbolize endless love and commitment. Wedding rings have almost always been worn on the fourth finger, but the hand it’s worn on depends on where you live. In some cultures, people wear their rings on the left hand, and in others, they wear them on the right.
