Lore of Hand i'm History

raising the right hand or having 1t up
on a bible.
In the conservation of bishops,
priests and deacons and also in confir
nation the laying on of hands is the
essence OF the sacramento rite.
A bishop gives his blessing with the
thumb and first and second fingers.
In this the thumb represents God the
Father. the first finger is the emblem
OF God the Son and the second finger
stands for the God the Holy Ghost,
the three together symbolizing the
Holy Trinity.
The wedding ring is placed upon
the third finger OF the woman's hand
to show that after the Trinity mans
love. honor and duty are given to his
wife.
Besides the deaf and dumb there are
many people. notably OF Latin and
Semitic races. who talk with their
hands.

Significant Symbols That Always Have
Had a Deep Purpose and
Meaning.

When a man is not telling the truth
he is apt to clench his hands. as few
men can lie with their hands open.
A man who holds his thumb tightly
within his hand has weak will power.
Strong willed persons hold their
thumbs outside when shutting their
hands.
Shaking hands ~hen greeting was
originally an evidence that each per.
son was unarmed.
Among the savage tribes when a
man holds up his hands 1t is sign of
peace, an evidence that he is unarmed
or does not intend to use weapons.
An outlaw says. Hold up your hands!"
meaning thereby to make victim pow.
erless to resist attack.
When a man kisses the hands Of a
woman he expresses his submission.
This is also the idea when kissing the
hands OF kings. BY this act their
superiority is acknowledged.
