Sachin Jose @Sachinettiyil - Video: A little girl brings a Crucifix to a couple who are getting married—a beautiful marriage tradition.
-
When the bride and groom go to the church to be married, they carry a Crucifix with them. The priest blesses the Crucifix, and instead of saying that they have found the ideal partner with whom to share their lives, he exclaims, “You have found your Cross! It is a Cross to love, to carry with you—a Cross that is not to be thrown off, but rather cherished.”
-
When they exchange their marital vows, the bride places her right hand on the Crucifix, and the groom places his right hand over hers. Both are bound together and united to the Cross. The priest covers their hands with his stole while they pronounce their promises to love one another in good times and in bad, proclaiming their vows to be faithful according to the rites of the Church.
Then, they first kiss the Cross—not each other. If one abandons the other, they abandon Christ on the Cross. They lose Jesus!
-
After the wedding, the newlyweds cross the threshold of their home to enthrone that same Crucifix in a place of honor. It becomes the reference point of their lives and the center of family prayer, for the young couple believes deeply that the family is born of the Cross.
