lucky horse shoesThe association of the lucky horseshoe with the wedding ceremony is not too clear, there are ancient pre-christian supernatural powers attributed to the horseshoe, for the Greeks it symbolised the crescent moon which was regarded as a symbol of fertility. The modern association is more likely to be linked to the legend associated with the 10th century St. Dunstan who trapped the Devil and as a result extracted a promise never to enter the house of a Christian, which he would recognise by a horseshoe hung above the door.Hence the symbolism of the lucky horse shoe the Bride carries today is lost in the mists of time but is still a potent reminder of our culture and historic roots. Because the horseshoe is " U " shaped, to retain the the good luck forever it is essential that the horseshoe is hung by the ribbons which are attached to the shoulders. The horseshoe should not be turned upside down or else all the good luck of the marriage may fall out. A related tradition says that it is very good luck to see a Grey horse en route to the Church, even more good luck if the Bride travelled in a carriage drawn by a grey horse, whilst the luckiest horseshoes came from the hind feet of a Grey Mare. An ideal wedding gift for the bride |
