That is the one i know

I have not looked at the other three though

Cool I wasnt sure on that one it could have been any other

The story closer resembles the hindu and egyptian tales

What is your point?

BEcause they are similar?

what

My point is. You can deny it but many traditions of catholicism and christianity as a whole were taken and adjusted from paganism, along with deciding what *miricles* and scripture would be included or not from the bible.

The only point was that marrige as a Catholic tradition Was only done in mutual consent

As Christianity was expanded and *translations* were done with neat additions and subtractions based on the area, this continued

the only good catholics are the non-white catholics

do you have any evidence they stole this from pegan culture?

yeah

Your point was it was *the first*

Handfasting

No

Of northern pagans

@DanConway
christmas

It was consentual

i guess easter was something else too

Truly consentual

The counsel of Nicea decided the date of easter but it was nonconforming between the east and west

Not the wanna be *arranged marriage but woman wond defy the family*

Handfasting was the first true consent of the bride

Christianity adopted that

If the marriage was not consensual it could be annulled

But that is where the west gained this tradition

There wasnt a non consentual marriage in handfasting.

And either side could call it off.

Who handfasted?

Picts, Norse, I believe as well the Gauls and Germanics

The germanics no

The church had a huge problem trying to convince them of how marriage worked

Handfasting worked different than marriage

One major was either member could *divorce*
