The Meaning Behind Las Arras
The tradition of exchanging las arras, or wedding coins, dates back centuries and is deeply rooted in the cultures of Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines. These coins, often presented in sets of 13, represent the groom's commitment to providing for his bride and their future family.
The 13 coins symbolize Jesus and his 12 apostles, signifying the unbreakable bond between the couple and their faith. The coins are typically blessed by a priest or religious figure, imbuing them with a sacred significance that transcends the material.
As the groom places the coins in the bride's hands, he is making a promise to support and care for her, just as Christ cared for his followers. In turn, the bride's acceptance of the coins signifies her trust and devotion to her partner, creating a powerful exchange that sets the foundation for their marriage.
