In this episode, we discover the profound connections between ancient Jewish wedding customs and the Christian faith. Our fascinating discussion takes us on a journey through time, exploring the historical significance of wine, the ceremonial cup in betrothal rituals, and the manner in which a Jewish groom traditionally 'acquires' a bride. From the wedding at Cana to the four cups of the Passover meal at the last supper, these symbols find a deep echo in Christian beliefs, painting a vivid picture of covenant and unity that transcends the ages. Join us as we contemplate the theological richness of marriage underscoring the sacrament of marriage and Communion as the ultimate expressions of divine covenant.
