Wedding Band...WHY the left ring finger??

~written by Cendi Micor

Ever wonder WHY we wear engagement ring and wedding band on the ring finger of our left hand? Ever wonder WHY we wear the wedding band below our engagement ring when we actually get that AFTER the engagement ring?

In North America and the UK, the origin of wearing it on your left ring finger came from Ancient Egypt and Romans. It was believed that there is a vein in that finger leading directly to your heart. This vein is known as “vena amoris” , meaning “vein of love”. In England, it was on the ring finger because the groom would slide it partway up the thumb, index finger and middle finger while saying, “In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit”…then place it on the ring finger.

However, in Europe, many cultures wear it on the right ring finger. Some cultures wear it on the left hand when engaged, then switch it to the right when married. Some cultures wear it on the index finger.

As for wearing the wedding band below the engagement ring, some say it is because it is closest to your heart. Regardless…it should come down to your preference.

Who We Are

New Beginnings' goal from the very beginning was simple: properly coach, support and encourage young women to successfully transition from poverty to self-sufficiency.
There are 3 main goals for these women once they complete our program.

1) To create a phenomenal life for themselves and their children. This will require personal and social development so they can reach their full human potential.

2) Building safe and stronger communities is everyone's responsibility, learning how to become ‘community builders' and to get involved is the way to ‘give back'. It is the key to community growth.

3) Last but not least, the goal for these women is to create a career not just find a job, so they become self-sufficient. Statistics show that people who are on social assistance who just got a job return to welfare (Welfare Toronto 2001).
