The Rite of the Consecration of Virgins and the Sacrament of Marriage – Different, yet Close to Reality Synthetic Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The sacrament of marriage and the rite of consecration of virgins are celebrations belonging to two worlds that seem to have no contact points. The consecration of virgins itself appears as something ancient and exotic at the same time, and interest in its meaning is still faint. This article is a synthetic presentation of the research that ended in April 2021, resulting in a work entitled: The Nuptial Character of the Sacrament of Marriage and the Consecration of Virgins. Analytical and comparative study. The recognition of this spousality of the rites studied, both in their entirety and in their individual elements, while at the same time commenting on the documents of the Holy See and of the Fathers of the Church, clearly speaks in favour of the fact that these realities are very close to each other and even complement each other.
