SYMBOLS OF MAIDENHOOD AND WIFERY
ON THE DAY OF A GIRL'S MARRIAGE, ALL THE VILLAGE GIRLS COME
TO THE BRIDE'S HOUSE AND HELP HER DRESS, SING SAD SONGS OF LEAVING
HER FAMILY, AND WALK HER TO THE CHURCH.
THE BRIDE EXCHANGES HER HEAD-WREATH OF FLOWERS, SYMBOL OF
MAIDENHOOD, FOR A BABUSKA, SYMBOL OF A MARRIED WOMAN, WHICH SHE MUST
ALWAYS WEAR IN PUBLIC.
