DESCRIPTION:
The Wedding with the Sea, or Sposalizio del Mare, is an annual ceremony held in the Italian city of Venice on the Sunday following the Feast of the Ascension, which falls 40 days after Easter. The ceremony celebrates Venice's maritime history and its relationship with the sea.
The Wedding with the Sea ceremony dates back to 1000 AD, when Doge Pietro II Orseolo saved a ship that was in distress during a storm. In celebration, he threw a gold ring into the sea and declared Venice, the "bride of the sea." Since then, the ceremony has been held yearly, with the Doge or a city representative throwing a gold ring into the sea to symbolize the marriage between Venice and the Adriatic Sea.
The ceremony begins with a procession of boats, including the Bucintoro, the historic state barge of the Doges, and other decorated boats. The boats make their way to the entrance of the Venetian Lagoon, where the ceremony takes place. The ceremony is presided over by the mayor of Venice and includes prayers, blessings, and the throwing of the gold ring.
After the ceremony, boats gather for a regatta in the lagoon. The Wedding with the Sea is a popular event in Venice, drawing locals and tourists alike to witness the unique and historic ceremony.
