The Holy Scarf

The priest stares towards the new blushing bride A question in his old eyes Replaced by a sweet smile Gives her delicate hand to waiting groom Blessing their pious union With a holy red scarf

What a lovely image of a wedding ceremony, Tahera! This must be part of your culture. I hadn't heard of this tradition before -- blessing the couple with a red scarf. Very nice! Best wishes in Dr. Ram's contest. Love, Carolyn
