Handfasting Ceremonies

Handfasting is Christian, as well, it is not just pagan. You could probably find them in Celtic history sites, as priests were hard to come by, so handfasting was done to solidify things before the priest got there.

If you wish to do a Christian handfasting, speak to your pastor/priest about it. They will direct you to the proper resources.

Please do not use another religion's rites in your religion's ceremony.

We did a pagan handfasting as part of our mixed faith ceremony. We worked with our officiant and I did my own research on the internet into what I wanted.

But, again, if you want a handfasting in a Christian ceremony, there are Christian handfasting traditions, you do not need pagan ones.

Hi Jennifer! There's great information about handfasting ceremonies and the traditions behind them in this article: Everything to Know About the Handfasting Ceremony Tradition.

You can also talk to your officiant about different ways to personalize or change the handfasting ceremony to better suit you!
