History of the holiday, traditions and customs
The four-year anniversary of family life has several names:
- Linen wedding is the most common name. The symbol of this date is flax and the fabric made from it. This is a much more durable material when compared with previous dates - paper, chintz. Linen - a strong, durable, dense fabric symbolizes that the relationship between the spouses has already passed the first test of time and means the strength of the marriage. Since ancient times, flax has personified wealth and prosperity, and the four-year date seemed to be the start on the path to accumulating joint wealth and arranging life.
- Rope wedding symbolizes that the husband and wife are intertwined with each other, like ropes, and they are no longer so easy to separate.
- In Western European countries, this holiday is called a wax wedding . It is believed that spouses, like wax, melt, adapting to each other.
For a long time, this significant day had its own traditions:
- The most famous Slavic tradition is the canvas of happiness . Immediately after the wedding, the young wife began to weave linen from flax, but only at a time when she felt happiness and joy. On the morning of the linen wedding anniversary, the wife covered her husband with the linen she had made. If it turned out to be short, the husband should have thought about it.
- Another custom instructed the wife to give her husband an embroidered linen shirt . Both had to wear linen clothes on this day.
- The following sign is associated with a rope wedding: during the celebration, the married couple was tightly tied with ropes . If they were unable to free themselves from the shackles, it was a good sign indicating that the family would be strong and would never fall apart.
- When guests met the spouses, they threw flax seeds .
