The Passion of the Christ
One specific scene in the film perceived as an example of anti-Semitism was in the dialogue of Caiaphas , when he states `` His blood ( is ) on us and on our children ! '' , a quote historically interpreted by some as a curse taken upon by the Jewish people . Certain Jewish groups asked this be removed from the film . However , only the subtitles were removed ; the original dialogue remains in the Hebrew soundtrack . When asked about this scene , Gibson said : `` I wanted it in . My brother said I was wimping out if I did n't include it . But , man , if I included that in there , they 'd be coming after me at my house . They 'd come to kill me . '' In another interview when asked about the scene , he said , `` It 's one little passage , and I believe it , but I do n't and never have believed it refers to Jews , and implicates them in any sort of curse . It 's directed at all of us , all men who were there , and all that came after . His blood is on us , and that 's what Jesus wanted . But I finally had to admit that one of the reasons I felt strongly about keeping it , aside from the fact it 's true , is that I did n't want to let someone else dictate what could or could n't be said . ''
Ecclesiastes
In Judaism , Ecclesiastes is read either on Shemini Atzeret ( by Yemenites , Italians , some Sepharadim , and the mediaeval French Jewish rite ) or on the Shabbat of the Intermediate Days of Sukkot ( by Ashkenazim ) . If there is no Intermediate Sabbath of Sukkot , even the Ashkenazim read it on Shemini Atzeret ( or , for Ashkenazim in the Land of Israel , on the first Shabbat of Sukkot ) . It is read on Sukkot as a reminder to not get too caught up in the festivities of the holiday , as well as to carry over the happiness of Sukkot to the rest of the year by telling the listeners that , without God , life is meaningless . When the listeners take this to heart , then true happiness can be achieved throughout the year .
Woodrow Wilson
Wilson 's marriage to Ellen was delayed by traumatic developments in her family ; in late 1883 , Ellen 's father Edward , suffering from depression , was admitted to the Georgia State Mental Hospital , where in 1884 he committed suicide . After closing the family home in Rome , Georgia , and recovering from the initial shock , Ellen gained admission to the Art Students League of New York . After graduation , she pursued portrait art and received a medal for one of her works from the Paris International Exposition . She happily agreed to sacrifice further independent artistic pursuits in order to keep her marriage commitment , and in 1885 she and Wilson married .
Mr. Bean
When the priest gets to the part where there are any objections to the marriage , Bean sneezes loudly and steals the tissue off of the bride 's mother to blow his nose . The ceremony continues with Bean shushing a man and woman coughing , and then the whole ceremony abruptly stops when Beans gift wrapped alarm clock starts ringing continuously . Bean attempts to silence it by hiding it under his jacket , but when this does n't work , he frantically opens the box , accidentally hitting the mother with this hand and the father with the lid in the process , and finally shuts it off . By this point , everyone is becoming annoyed of Bean and his behaviour , especially the father . The ceremony resumes with a choir boy singing , but Bean becomes so bored by this he falls asleep and starts snoring on the father 's shoulder , but he suddenly wakes up when the song ends . When it is time for the bride and groom to exchange vows , Bean interrupts by repeating the first line that the groom was supposed to say . He then mocks the groom while he is repeating the rest of his vows . When it is the bride 's turn to say her vows , Bean distracts the cameraman by acting ridiculously to the lens . The priest then finally declares the two husband & wife , and when the two kiss Bean humorously covers his eyes . At the ceremony 's conclusion , the priest starts a prayer , and when Bean discovers he does n't have a kneeling mat to pray on , he steals the father 's mat , which causes his head to hit the floor hard . When the newly married couple walk down the aisle , the bride 's father finally blows his top at Bean and attempts to attack him . As Bean backs away in fear , he accidentally steps on the back of the bride 's wedding dress , causing it to rip and fall off . Furious , the groom attempts to punch Bean , but he manages to evade every swing , and the groom ends up hitting the wedding sponsor , the priest , and finally his new wife . As the horrified groom checks on her , Bean makes a run for the exit , but quickly returns to give the alarm clock to the bride . He gives her a thumbs up before running out the church . The sketch also starred Alex MacQueen , Michelle Ryan , Matthew Macfadyen and David Haig .
Bar and Bat Mitzvah
Many congregations require pre -- bar mitzvah children to attend a minimum number of Shabbat prayer services at the synagogue , study at a Hebrew school , take on a charity or community service project , and maintain membership in good standing with the synagogue . In addition to study and preparation offered through the synagogue and Hebrew schools , bar mitzvah tutors may be hired to prepare the child through the study of Hebrew , Torah cantillation and basic Jewish concepts .
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
John Rhys - Davies was asked to reprise his role as Sallah as a guest in the wedding scene . He turned it down as he felt his character deserved a more substantial role .
Tree of life
Jewish mysticism depicts the Tree of Life in the form of ten interconnected nodes , as the central symbol of the Kabbalah . It comprises the ten Sephirot powers in the Divine realm . The panentheistic and anthropomorphic emphasis of this emanationist theology interpreted the Torah , Jewish observance , and the purpose of Creation as the symbolic esoteric drama of unification in the Sephirot , restoring harmony to Creation . From the time of the Renaissance onwards , Jewish Kabbalah became incorporated as an important tradition in non-Jewish Western culture , first through its adoption by Christian Cabala , and continuing in Western esotericism occult Hermetic Qabalah . These adapted the Judaic Kabbalah Tree of Life syncretically by associating it with other religious traditions , esoteric theologies , and magical practices .
Eastern Orthodox Church
As part of the legacy handed down from its Judaic roots , incense is used during all services in the Eastern Orthodox Church as an offering of worship to God as it was done in the Jewish First and Second Temples in Jerusalem ( Exodus chapter 30 ) . Incense is also prophesied in the book of Malachi 1 : 11 as a `` pure offering '' in the glorification of God by the Gentiles in `` every place '' where the name of God is regarded as `` great '' . Traditionally , the base of the incense used is the resin of Boswellia sacra , also known as frankincense , but the resin of fir trees has been used as well . It is usually mixed with various floral essential oils giving it a sweet smell .
Unity candle
While the use of unity candles has become widespread , it is prohibited in some churches . It is not part of the Catholic or Anglican wedding ceremonies , and many parishes do not allow its inclusion in the ceremony . While the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has not explicitly prohibited the use of the unity candle in the marriage rite , neither has it encouraged the practice . The Conference has noted that the policies of most dioceses do not prohibit this custom but many suggest that it be done at the reception since the Rite of Marriage already has abundant symbols of unity . The analysis of the Bishops regarding unity candles concludes by indicating that if the unity candle is permitted , the couple should light their individual candles from the paschal candle , the individual candles should not be extinguished and the unity candle should not be placed on the altar . Within Australia the Unity Candle lighting ceremony has now become part of the Uniting Church wedding Ceremony as an optional extra and is discussed with the parties and the minister prior to the wedding ( Uniting church complete marriage service ) . A
Eastern Orthodox Church
Incense represents the sweetness of the prayers of the saints rising up to God ( Psalm 141 : 2 , Revelation 5 : 8 , 8 : 4 ) . The incense is burned in an ornate golden censer that hangs at the end of three chains representing the Trinity . Two chains represent the human and Godly nature of the Son , one chain for the Father and one chain for the Holy Spirit . The lower cup represents the earth and the upper cup the heaven . In the Greek , Slavic , and Syrian traditions there are 12 bells hung along these chains representing the 12 apostles . There are also 72 links representing 72 evangelists .
Shofar
The doubt as to the nature of the Biblical teruah , whether it was simply a broken moan ( shevarim ) , a staccato ( teruah ) or both ( shevarim - teruah ) , necessitates three near - repetitions to make sure of securing the correct sound . The sequence of the shofar blowing is thus :
The Dragon (Beowulf)
The dragon fight , occurring at the end of the poem , is foreshadowed in earlier scenes . The dragon fight symbolizes Beowulf 's stand against evil and destruction , and , as the hero , he knows that failure will bring destruction to his people after many years of peace . The dragon himself acts a mock `` gold - king , '' one who sees attacking Beowulf 's kingdom as suitable retribution for the theft of just a single cup . The scene is structured in thirds , ending with the deaths of the dragon and Beowulf .
Toast (honor)
In Danish , Swedish and Norwegian , prosit is a blessing used in response to a sneeze , in the same way the English expression `` bless you '' is used .
Sciatic nerve
According to Jewish law , the sciatic nerve ( Hebrew : Gid hanasheh ) can not be eaten , to commemorate Jacob 's hurt in his struggle with an Angel .
New Mexico
Before December 2013 , New Mexico law neither explicitly allowed nor prohibited same - sex marriage . Policy concerning the issuance of marriage licenses to same - sex couples was determined at the county level ; that is , some county clerks issued marriage licenses to same - sex couples , while others did not . In December 2013 , the New Mexico Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling directing all county clerks to issue marriage licenses to same - sex couples , thereby making New Mexico the 17th state to recognize same - sex marriage at the statewide level .
Arizona
On October 17 , 2014 , Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne announced that his office would no longer object to same - sex marriage , in response to a U.S. District Court Ruling on Arizona Proposition 102 . On that day , each county 's Clerk of the Superior Court began to issue same - sex marriage licenses , and Arizona became the 31st state to legalize same - sex marriage .
Will Horton
When on June 26 , 2015 , the Supreme Court of the United States ruled to make same - sex marriage a right across all states of the USA , soapcentral.com published an article celebrating the Supreme Court 's ruling with a look back at the first same - sex marriages shown in USA soap operas : the first female - female marriage ( Bianca and Reese on All My Children ) and the first male - male marriage ( Will and Sonny on Days of Our Lives ) , saying both were `` incredibly special '' . Commenting on the importance of the couple at the time of Will 's revival , Krystyn Burtt of SheKnows said , `` The storyline began to play out in 2012 , when few states had marriage equality . By the time the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same - sex marriage was a right in all 50 states on June 26 , 2015 , Will and Sonny were already married . Days of Our Lives had shown fans how important all types of love stories were and how they deserved representation on daytime TV . ''
Quakers
As in the wider society , there is a wide diversity of views on the issue of same - sex marriage , and Friends have varying views on the topic . Various Friends meetings around the world have voiced support for , and have recognised , same - sex marriages . In 1986 , Hartford Friends Meeting in Connecticut , U.S. , reached the decision that `` the Meeting recognised a committed union in a celebration of marriage , under the care of the Meeting . The same loving care and consideration should be given to both homosexual and heterosexual applicants as outlined in Faith and Practice . '' Since then , some other meetings of liberal and progressive Friends from Australia , Britain , New Zealand , parts of North America , and other countries have recognised marriage between partners of the same sex . In jurisdictions , where same - sex marriage is not recognised by the civil authorities , some meetings follow the practice of early Quakers in overseeing the union without reference to the state . There are also Friends who do not support same - sex marriage , and some Evangelical and Pastoral yearly meetings in the United States have issued public statements stating that homosexuality is a sin .
Cousin marriage
Several states of the United States have bans on cousin marriage . As of February 2014 , 24 U.S. states prohibit marriages between first cousins , 19 U.S. states allow marriages between first cousins , and 7 U.S. states allow only some marriages between first cousins . Six states prohibit first - cousin - once - removed marriages . Some states prohibiting cousin marriage recognize cousin marriages performed in other states , but despite occasional claims that this holds true in general , laws also exist that explicitly void all foreign cousin marriages or marriages conducted by state residents out of state .
History of women in the United States
In 2004 , Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon became the first same - sex couple to be legally married in the United States , since San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom allowed city hall to grant marriage licenses to same - sex couples . However , all same - sex marriages done in 2004 in California were annulled . But after the California Supreme Court decision in 2008 that granted same - sex couples in California the right to marry , Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon remarried , and were again the first same - sex couple in the state to marry . Later in 2008 Prop 8 illegalized same - sex marriage in California until Prop 8 was overturned in 2013 , but the marriages that occurred between the California Supreme Court decision legalizing same - sex marriage and the approval of Prop 8 illegalizing it are still considered valid , including the marriage of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon .
Cousin marriage
The U.S. state of Maine allows first - cousin marriage if the couple agrees to have genetic counseling , while North Carolina allows it so long as the applicants for marriage are not rare double first cousins , meaning cousins through both parental lines . In the other 25 states permitting at least some first - cousin marriage , double cousins are not distinguished .
New Jersey
On October 21 , 2013 , same - sex marriages commenced in New Jersey . Race
Latin America
Due to the impact of Enlightenment ideals after the French revolution , a certain number of Iberian - American countries decriminalized homosexuality after France and French territories in the Americas in 1791 . Some of the countries that abolished sodomy laws or banned any reference to state interference in consensual adult sexuality in the 19th century were Dominican Republic ( 1822 ) , Brazil ( 1824 ) , Peru ( 1836 ) , Mexico ( 1871 ) , Paraguay ( 1880 ) , Argentina ( 1887 ) , Honduras ( 1899 ) , Guatemala and El Salvador . Today gay marriage is legal in Argentina , Brazil , Colombia , Uruguay , and French overseas departments , as well as in some states of Mexico . Civil unions can be held in Ecuador , Chile and one administrative region of Venezuela .
Age of marriage in the United States
Unlike most Western countries , 18 of the U.S. states do not have a legal minimum age of marriage . Individuals aged 18 have the ability to marry in U.S. states except Nebraska ( 19 ) and Mississippi ( 21 ) . In addition , all states , except Delaware and New Jersey , allow minors to marry in certain circumstances , such as parental consent , judicial consent , pregnancy , or a combination of these situations . Most states allow parties aged 16 and 17 to marry with parental consent alone . In most states , children under 16 can be married too . In the 32 states which have an absolute minimum age set by statute , this age varies between 14 and 18 , while in 18 states there is no statutory minimum age if other legal conditions are met . Although in such states there is no set minimum age by statute , the traditional common law minimum age is 14 for boys and 12 for girls - ages which have been confirmed by case law in some states . Over the past 15 years , more than 200,000 minors married in US , and in Tennessee girls as young as 10 were married in 2001 , before the state finally set a minimum age of 17 in 2018 .
Equal Rights Amendment
Section 1 . Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex .
Hawaii
A 2012 poll by Gallup found that Hawaii had the largest proportion of lesbian , gay , bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) adults in the U.S. , at 5.1 % , comprising an estimated adult LGBT population of 53,966 individuals . The number of same - sex couple households in 2010 was 3,239 ; a 35.5 % increase of figures from a decade earlier . In 2013 , Hawaii became the fifteenth U.S. state to legalize same - sex marriage ; a University of Hawaii researcher said the law may boost tourism by $217 million .
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
State constitutions provide free speech protections similar to those of the U.S. Constitution . In a few states , such as California , a state constitution has been interpreted as providing more comprehensive protections than the First Amendment . The Supreme Court has permitted states to extend such enhanced protections , most notably in Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins . In that case , the Court unanimously ruled that while the First Amendment may allow private property owners to prohibit trespass by political speakers and petition - gatherers , California was permitted to restrict property owners whose property is equivalent to a traditional public forum ( often shopping malls and grocery stores ) from enforcing their private property rights to exclude such individuals . However , the Court did maintain that shopping centers could impose `` reasonable restrictions on expressive activity '' . Subsequently , New Jersey , Colorado , Massachusetts and Puerto Rico courts have adopted the doctrine ; California 's courts have repeatedly reaffirmed it .
Vermont
In July 2000 Vermont became the first state to introduce civil unions . In 2009 Vermont became the first state to legislate same - sex marriage unforced by court challenge or ruling . On January 22 , 2018 Vermont became the first of the United States to legalize cannabis for recreational use by legislative action , and the ninth state in the United States to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes . This law was signed by Republican Governor Phil Scott .
Separation of church and state in the United States
The `` religious test '' clause has been interpreted to cover both elected officials and appointed ones , career civil servants as well as political appointees . Religious beliefs or the lack of them have therefore not been permissible tests or qualifications with regard to federal employees since the ratification of the Constitution . Seven states , however , have language included in their Bill of Rights , Declaration of Rights , or in the body of their constitutions that require state office - holders to have particular religious beliefs , though some of these have been successfully challenged in court . These states are Texas , Massachusetts , Maryland , North Carolina , Pennsylvania , South Carolina , and Tennessee .
Equal Rights Amendment
Oregon - Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the state of Oregon or by any political subdivision in this state on account of sex . Oregon Constitution , Article I , § 46 ( 2014 )
Los Angeles County, California
On November 4 , 2008 , Los Angeles County was almost evenly split over Proposition 8 which amended the California Constitution to ban same - sex marriages . The county voted for the amendment 50.04 % with a margin of 2,385 votes .
Equal Rights Amendment
Colorado -- Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the state of Colorado or any of its political subdivisions because of sex . Colorado Constitution , Article II , § 29 ( 1973 )
Equal Rights Amendment
Twenty - four states have adopted constitutions or constitutional amendments providing that equal rights under the law shall not be denied because of sex . Most of these provisions mirror the broad language of the ERA , while the wording in others resembles the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment . Of course , the state actions do not change the federal draft laws that proved one of the stumbling blocks to passage of the national ERA . The 1879 Constitution of California contains the earliest state equal rights provision on record . Narrowly written , it limits the equal rights conferred to `` entering or pursuing a business , profession , vocation , or employment '' . Near the end of the 19th century two more states , Wyoming ( 1890 ) and Utah ( 1896 ) , included equal rights provisions in their constitutions . These provisions were broadly written to ensure political and civil equality between women and men . Several states crafted and adopted their own equal rights amendments during the 1970s and 1980s , while the ERA was before the states , or afterward .
Freedom of religion in the United States
Religious liberty has not prohibited states or the federal government from prohibiting or regulating certain behaviors ; i.e. prostitution , gambling , alcohol and certain drugs , although some libertarians interpret religious freedom to extend to these behaviors . The United States Supreme Court has ruled that a right to privacy or a due process right does prevent the government from prohibiting adult access to birth control , pornography , and from outlawing sodomy between consenting adults and early trimester abortions .
Cousin marriage
In the past , cousin marriage was practised within indigenous cultures in Australia , North America , South America , and Polynesia . Various religions have ranged from prohibiting sixth cousins or closer from marrying , to freely allowing first - cousin marriage . Cousin marriage is an important topic in anthropology and alliance theory .
Civil Rights Act of 1964
On April 4 , 2017 , the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago , sitting en banc , ruled that Title VII of the Act forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation by a vote of 8 -- 3 . Over the prior month , panels of both the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City had reached the opposite conclusion , finding that Title VII sex discrimination does not include claims based on sexual orientation .
Rhode Island
In 2011 , Rhode Island became the third state in the United States to pass legislation to allow the use of medical marijuana . Additionally , the Rhode Island General Assembly passed civil unions , and it was signed into law by Governor Lincoln Chafee on July 2 , 2011 . Rhode Island became the eighth state to fully recognize either same - sex marriage or civil unions . Same - sex marriage became legal on May 2 , 2013 , and took effect August 1 .
Vermont
Vermont leads US states with the highest rates of LGBT identification , at 5.3 % . Its LGBT population density is second in the US only to the District of Columbia .
