Some feel that during a Christian wedding, the priest arrives at the 4th finger after touching three fingers on the left hand "In the Name of the Father...Son...and Holy Ghost...". Others believe the Egyptian myth that the ring finger follows the "vena amoris" or vein of love...which supposedly runs directly to the heart.

According to this fascinating legend which began in Galway Ireland, more than 400 years ago, the crown represents loyalty, the hands friendship, and the heart love. When a man gives the ring to his girl, it symbolizes that she will hold his heart in her hands, and when a girl gives the ring to her man, the same holds true for him.
