Polish weddings and receptions are traditions. We all know at least some of them. The rites also concern gifts given to the bride and groom and their parents. Why is a picture of the holy family given to the newlyweds?
Image of the holy family for a wedding. The gift should be given by the mother of the bride
According to the painting depicting the holy family (Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus), it should be given by the mother of the bride. The portrait is then to be blessed during the ceremony and accompany the newlyweds during the ceremony. At the very end, the image of biblical characters is to go to the house of a newly married couple. Thus, it is supposed to symbolize entering a new stage of life and provide protection against misfortune. The holy family hanging over the bed of the young couple is also supposed to ensure the health of future offspring.
Can the painting be given by another family member? Traditionally, the portrait should be purchased by the mother of the bride. In situations where it is not possible, the godmother or another close woman from the fiancée’s life should be in charge.
Like wedding gifts for parents? The young couple can let their imagination run wild
In the case of gifts for the parents of the newlyweds, there is not such an established tradition as in the case of the image of the holy family. The bride and groom usually opt for elegant gifts or gifts with a deeper meaning. Gifts for parents and in-laws often include various types of souvenirs, such as photo albums or thank you videos.
Some couples, however, decide on completely different ones. Anything that will remind parents of the wedding for years to come is a good idea. For this reason, some couples decide to buy and plant a tree in the garden of their family home. Thus, the plant will grow as the compound develops.
