Origin OF the Wedding Ring.

According to legend Jupiter sent to
Prometheus in honor of his deliver
ance by Hercules a ring in which was
set a piece of the stone TO which
Prometheus had formerly been bound
In chains.
In Northern mythology the ring
symbolizes the bridge from this world
to the next, or, according TO another
Idea, the rainbow symbol OF eternity.
Hence 1t is plain that from most an
:ient times the ring was the symbol OF
remembrance and eternal recollection.
Since the earliest days of Christianity
the ring has been a precious pledge OK
taithfulness, the talisman Of two souls
forming a sacred life union.
The custom of wearing the wedding
ding on the fourth finger Of the left
hand goes back for its origin TO the
Egyptians, from whom the Greeks bor-
rowed the custom and handed 1t on to
the Romans. The fourth finger was
dedicated to Apollo, the sun god, and
gold was an additional symbol of the
sun. Besides, It was believed that
Apollo's finger was connected by .
nerve directly with the heart and 70
was most appropriate that the sign OF
owing union should rest on this finger.
Another theory is that the ring was
he sign of slavery, and was, therefore.
worn on the left, the weaker, hand.
n Germany the engagement ring often
serves for the wedding ring also. be-
.ng worn on the right hSh5 until the
marriage, when IL is transferred to thu
eft In Spain the engagement ring ID
most ornate and is invariably worn on
he fourth finger Of the right hand.
