Guión del rito de matrimonio (6/27/13) - 4 - Guión del rito de matrimonio (6/27/13) - 5 - Primera Lectura: # 1 (Génesis 1, 26-28. 31) Del libro de Génesis Dijo Dios: “Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen y semejanza; que domine a los peces del mar, a las aves del cielo, a los animales domésticos y a todo animal que se arrastra sobre la tierra”. Y creó Dios al hombre a su imagen; a imagen suya lo creó; hombre y mujer los creó. Y los bendijo Dios y les dijo: “Sean fecundos y multiplíquense, llenen la tierra y sométanla; dominen a los peces del mar, a las aves del cielo y a todo ser viviente que se mueve sobre la tierra”. Vio Dios todo lo que había hecho y lo encontró muy bueno. Palabra de Dios. T: Te Alabamos, Señor Guión del rito de matrimonio (6/27/13) - 6 - Primera Lectura: # 2 (Génesis 24, 48-51. 58-67) Del libro de Génesis En aquellos días, Eliécer, el siervo de Abraham, le dijo a Labán, hermano de Rebeca, y a Betuel, el padre de ella; “Bendigo al Señor, Dios de mi amo Abraham, que me ha traído por buen camino para tomar a la hija de su hermano y llevársela al hijo de mi amo. Díganme, pues, si por amor y lealtad a mi amo, aceptan o no, para que yo pueda actuar en consecuencia”. Labán y Betuel le contestaron: “Todo esto lo ha dispuesto el Señor; nosotros no podemos oponernos. Ahí está Rebeca: tómala y vete, para que sea la mujer del hijo de tu amo, como lo ha dispuesto el Señor”. Llamaron, entonces, a Rebeca y le preguntaron si quería irse con ese hombre, y ella respondió que sí. Así pues, despidieron a Rebeca y a su nodriza, al criado de Abraham y a sus compañeros. Y bendijeron a Rebeca con estas palabras: “Hermana nuestra, que tus descendientes se cuenten por millares y que conquisten las ciudades enemigas”. Rebeca y sus compañeras montaron en los camellos y se fueron con el criado de Abraham, encargado de llevar a Rebeca. Isaac acababa de regresar del pozo de Lajay-Roí, pues vivía en las tierras del sur. Una tarde Isaac andaba paseando por el campo, y al levantar la vista, vio venir unos camellos. Cuando Rebeca lo vio, se bajó del camello y le preguntó al criado: “¿Quién es aquel hombre que viene por el campo hacia nosotros?” El criado le respondió: “Es mi señor”. Entonces ella tomó su velo y se cubrió el rostro. El criado le contó a Isaac todo lo que había hecho. Isaac llevó a Rebeca a la tienda que había sido de Sara, su madre, y la tomó por esposa y con sus amor se consoló de la muerte de su madre. Palabra de Dios. T: Te Alabamos, Señor Guión del rito de matrimonio (6/27/13) - 7 - Primera Lectura: # 3 (Tobías 7, 6-14) Del libro de Tobías En aquellos días, Ragüel besó a Tobías y entre lágrimas le dijo: “¡Que Dios te bendiga, porque eres hijo de un padre verdaderamente bueno e irreprochable! ¡Qué gran desgracia que un hombre justo y que hacía tantas limosnas se haya quedado ciego!” Y llorando, estrechó entre sus brazos a Tobías, hijo de su hermano. También Edna, su esposa, y Sara, su hija, rompieron a llorar. Ragüel los acogió cordialmente y mandó matar un carnero de su rebaño. Después, se lavaron, se purificaron y se sentaron a la mesa. Entonces Tobías le dijo a Rafael: “Azarías, hermano, dile a Ragüel que me dé la mano de mi hermana Sara”. Ragüel alcanzó a escucharlo y le dijo a Tobías: “Come y bebe y descansa tranquilamente esta noche. Nadie tiene más derecho que tú, hermano, para casarse con mi hija Sara y a nadie se la puedo yo dar sino a ti, porque tú eres mi pariente más cercano. Pero tengo que decirte una cosa, hijo. Se la he entregado a siete parientes nuestros y todos murieron antes de tener relaciones con ella. Por eso, hijo, come y bebe y el Señor cuidará de ustedes”. Tobías replicó: “No comeré ni beberé, hasta que no hayas tomado una decisión acera de lo que te he pedido”. Ragüel le contestó: “Está bien. Según la ley de Moisés a ti se te debe dar. El cielo mismo lo ha decretado. Cásate, pues, con tu hermana; desde ahora tú eres su hermano, y ella, tu hermana. Desde hoy y para siempre será tu esposa. Hijo que el Señor del cielo los acompañe durante esta noche, tenga misericordia de ustedes y les conceda su paz”. Ragüel mandó llamar a su hija Sara, ella vino, y tomándola de la mano, se la entregó a Tobías, diciéndole: “Recíbela, pues, según lo prescrito en la ley de Moisés. A ti se te da como esposa. Tómala y llévala con bien a la casa de tu padre. Y que el Señor del cielo les conceda a ustedes un buen viaje y les dé su paz. Entonces Ragüel llamó a la madre de Sara y le pidió que trajera papel para escribir el acta de matrimonio, en que constara que su hija había sido entregada por esposa a Tobías, de acuerdo con lo establecido en la ley de Moisés. La esposa de Ragüel trajo el papel. Y él escribió y firmó. Y después se sentaron a cenar. Palabra de Dios. T: Te Alabamos, Señor Guión del rito de matrimonio (6/27/13) - 8 - Primera Lectura: # 4 (Tobías 8, 4-8) Del libro de Tobías La noche de su boda, Tobías se levantó y le dijo a Sara: “¡Levántate, hermana! Supliquemos al Señor, nuestro Dios, que tenga misericordia de nosotros y nos proteja”.

  • Wedding Rituals in Christianity, Judaism and Islam: A
    Wedding rituals in Christianity, Judaism and Islam: A science of religion perspective by Maryke Strydom Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Theology (Religious Studies) in the Department Science of Religion and Missiology Faculty of Theology University of Pretoria 2019 Supervisor: Prof J Beyers 1 Ethics statement The author, whose name appears on the title page of this dissertation, has obtained, for the research described in this work, the applicable research ethics approval. The author declares that he/she has observed the ethical standards required in terms of the University of Pretoria’s Code of ethics for researchers and the Policy guidelines for responsible research. 2 Summary The dissertation considers marriage ceremonial rituals within Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The phenomenological method was used for obtaining and comparing the information on these religious rituals. The dissertation did not make use of field study to obtain the research. Rituals are a part of the living narrative of the people and involves integrating all walks of life religious, civil, cultural and personal. Within each religion the pre-marriage, marriage, post-marriage rituals and important elements were discussed at length. It should be noted that there will be traditions that differ from this work as some will fall outside the scope of this dissertation. At first glance the marriage rituals will seem very different from one another, until specific elements are compared. The vast phenomena that are similar (not exactly the same) were very surprising even though they do prove the research hypothesis to be correct. Rituals are important to those who partake in them.

  • New Mexican Wedding Songs
    Library of Congress New Mexican Wedding Songs 55 Southern folklore Quarterly Volume IV JUNE, 1940 Number 2 NEW MEXICAN WEDDING SONGS By Juan B. Rael Of all the ceremonies that take place during the typical New Mexican Spanish wedding, the entrega 1 de novios pueta 2 ( poeta ), as he is often called, begins to sing to the accompaniment of a violin and a guitar. The name entrega de novios refers both to the ceremony itself as well as to the series of coplas padrinos entrega de novios tells. 1 New Mexicans invariably use the archaic form entriega instead of the modern literary one. 2 The name pueta is usually given to one who improvises coplas as he sings. 56 The poetic form used in the entrega is the copla, which is generally a quatrain with eight-syllable lines, though now and then one also finds sixains. The quatrains have assonance in the second and fourth lines while the sixains have it in the second, fourth and sixth lines. Occasionally some of the coplas have a different rhyme scheme, but this is rare. The number of stanzas in each entrega is not definite. In the entregas which I encountered, the number of stanzas varies from fourteen to forty-five. The entrega given below is by far the most popular one. There are numerous versions of it available, but only seven of them have been included here.

  • Ceremonies Within Your Ceremony
    CEREMONIES WITHIN YOUR CEREMONY Unity Candle Candles will always be popular and, especially because of one idea we’ll discuss with you, we think a Unity Candle is worth considering as you plan your wedding. Candles may not work well in outdoor venues but, even then, we can suggest ways of including them. The Unity Candle symbolizes lives being united in marriage. It is a large candle lit by the Bride and Groom, sometimes by the bridal couple along with their children, indicating that all are now an inseparable part of one another. It also says to in-laws and friends that they, too, have been brought into this joyous whole. Sometimes the smaller tapers used to light the larger Unity Candle are blown out afterwards, sometimes they remain lit because individuality remains even within unity. Your officiant will describe to your guests the meaning of this ceremony and sometimes pronounce a blessing upon the newly formed family. The Bride and Groom typically are not expected to say anything (though they may whisper sentiments to one another). Sometimes mothers or other loved ones are given an opportunity to speak. Sometimes a soloist will sing, or music will be played, or a reading will take place. Sometimes candle sponsors (often Godparents) will stand with the bridal couple. Sometimes spiritual or religious connotations are involved. We will tailor the Unity Candle ceremony to fit what you want to remember. Many treasured thoughts may be symbolized in the lighting of the individual tapers and the Unity Candle. Your choices will determine who lights these candles and how this may be used to honor loved ones or give pledges to your children.

The first order of thanks must go to my parents, Dale and Susan Martin, for supporting me throughout the educational process. The fine example of academic excellence set by my father, himself a teacher, has made an indelible impression upon me. To my grandparents and other family members I owe a special debt of gratitude for other forms of support during my years at WMU.
