Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger ? Try this to know...

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese Legend…

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together – back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb – tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below):



Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)…, they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)…., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)…., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT….., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives – through thick and thin!!

Please try this out………….

ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?

“László A. Magyar, says the names of ring finger in many languages reflects ancient belief that it's a magical finger, named after magic or rings, or called nameless ( in Chinese: 无名指, unnamed finger). In Sanskrit and other Indic languages, the name for the ring finger is Anamika ("nameless")

Before medical science discovered how circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein of blood ran directly from third finger on left hand to heart. Because of hand-heart connection, they chose the descriptive name vena amori, Latin for the vein of love, for this particular vein.”


“Based upon the name vena amori their contemporaries - as purported experts in the field of matrimonial etiquette, wrote that it would only be fitting that the wedding ring be worn on this finger. By wearing the ring on the third finger of the left hand, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. In medieval Europe, the Christian wedding ceremony placed the ring in sequence on the index, middle, and ring fingers of the left hand. The ring was then left on the ring finger.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_finger
