“Stainless the Maiden”

The Cathedral Singers, Richard Proulx conducting

Blessing by the parents: Before the church ceremony everyone would gather at the home of the bride to accompany the bridal couple to the church, but also to witness the blessing and symbolic farewells of the bride with her parents, relatives and friends. …

Musicians may play “Serdeczna Matko” when the future son-in-law arrives and he and his bride-to-be kneel before her parents.
