RICE AT WEDDINGs-F. NJ. u, San Jose, Cal.
The throwing of rice at the bride ana groom
Is the revival OI very ancient custom in
Spain and probably in other countries, rice
being substituted for wheat
In The Cids Wedding UockhardFs "An-
cient Spanish Ballads is the following:
Then comes the bride Ximena; the King he holds
her hand
And tn. 'een; and all is fur and pale the mobiles
All round the streets the ears Of wheat are round
Kline a hVing:
But the King lift on her bosom sweet whatever
there Is lying
The wheat ears scattered at weddings doubt
less sy m boiize fertility. In a description of a
following: ''Girls from the balconies of Tola
Rosa strewed flowers and grains of wheat as
the bride passed, and a baby in swaddIinr
clothes was placed in Fiordilsa's hands, and
they sang:
Dio vi buno fortuna
Ire dt mashi G femmina una
Rice enters largely into the marriage cere-
monies OF the East In Persia and on the
Malab bar Coast OF India rice is scattered over
the heads of the bride and bridegroom and
prayers arc offered by the priest Tor the fruit
lulness OF the newly welded pair. Among the
Hlndoos rice is burned by the bride while
prayers are recIted. At TIE marriage of a
Brahm1n couple the bridegroom throws three
hahdiu s OF rice on the BRIDES head and she
does the same TO him. In Java rice forms
part OF the marriage least both bride and
bridegroom partake of it from the same dish
as token of sharing their future fortunes to-
get her. In Elba the mother OF the bridegroom
on the arrival OF the happy pair 1t their new
nome, throws rice behind the bride to warn
her that from that time forth she is expected
to devote herself to the duties of a good house
wife.
