The Protestantism was born as an alternative to Catholicism in Christianity around the XVI, originated by criticisms of Martin Luther to the ways of Catholicism at the time. It spread and developed also through the teaching of Zwigli, Calvin and the eccentric Henry VIII of England, who gave birth to what still today is the Anglican Church. Protestantism nowadays includes a wide range of new religious cults such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, the Baptist Church, Methodism, Puritanism, Evangelicalism, Christian Ecumenism and Pentecostalism, just to mention a few of the most famous ones.
Marriage in the perspective of the Protestant church is celebrated by a pastor and includes the welcome to the guests, the reading of some Bible lines, the exchange of vows and rings, the Blessing and a prayer to the Lord to celebrate the union. It is a very familiar, intimate and simple ritual.
To be united in the Protestant ceremony, baptism is requires to certify the belonging to Protestantism. Marriage between people of different faith is considered possible, though. Through the union it is displayed how God’s will is being accomplished and also how Christ’s reign is coming over. Guests are also considered as something more than simple spectators, they are required to take part actively to the ceremony by praying, chanting and reading passages of the Bible, in order to be part of the wedding experience.
