Long ago wine was revered as the blood of the earth.
When a bride and groom pledged themselves to each other they drank
wine from a single cup, signifying that they were becoming one blood,
one family, one kin. Cup raising was an invitation to the Gods to
witness this oath and hold the persons to their word) ……..
and ……. Share this cup in acknowledgment of the new bond
between you. |
