【No. 0121】Ring Finger

Apr 18, 2015 22:33
The ring finger is known as a finger to wear a wedding ring.

In Greek mythology, it was believed that a left hand ring finger and a heart were connected each other by a single thick vessel.

In order to connect two hearts, wearing a wedding ring on a left hand ring finger became habitual.

However, in Germany or Spain, wearing a wedding ring on the right hand ring finger is common.

I don't know the detail, but there seems to be a religious background.

When married people travel abroad, it might be better to consider their wedding rings' position.
薬指

薬指は、結婚指輪をつける指として知られています。

ギリシャ神話で、左手の薬指は心臓に1本の太い血管で繋がっていると信じられていました。

お互いの心を繋ぐため、左手の薬指に結婚指輪をつける習慣がついたと言われています。

しかし、ドイツやスペインでは、結婚指輪は右手の薬指につけるのが一般的です。

詳しいことはわかりませんが、宗教的な理由が背景にあるようです。

既婚者が海外旅行するとき、飛行機の中で指輪のつける位置を考えたほうがいいかもしれません。
