Matrimony

Matrimony: An acolyte to the right holds the missal, and the priest joins the hands of the marrying couple. His stole is crossed in front of him, representing their union. Note the way that the man holds the priests stole; today, it is commonly wrapped around the joined hands. Note also the woman's hair.
