Aya page 4 by ric gustafson
Aya watched her Ima enter with a wooden chest. Inside were her bridal garments. Included was a embroidered tunic and two golden cords. This was a symbol of a virgin. Then her Ima brought out jewelry. This included a gold chain, pearl earrings and several gold and silver bracelets. Then Ima finished by putting a gold diadem from a velvet bag on her daughter's head.
" You have always been our princess". Then she put a crown on her daughter's head.
" May HaShem bless you".
Ima kissed her daughter on both cheeks. Lastly, Ima put a veil over the crown.
Then Avidan arrived with his companions.
To the sounds of drums and shouting, Aya was led to her parents courtyard.
