Our betrothal to Christ mimics the customs of the traditional Jewish wedding covenant, including the preparation and purification customs, the Mohar (the payment a groom makes to the bride's father- symbolizing Christ's sacrifice of His very life), the Mattan (a special gift from the bridegroom to his bride — symbolizing the giving of the Holy Spirit) and the gift of Chesed or loving-kindness and grace- a trait we need to emulate in our role of Christ's bride.
