XP: Latin American traditions in Catholic Mass

aniluisa · May 2014

I posted about this on another board but didn't get any answers, so I thought I'd give this a try - is anyone here incorporating Latin traditions (eg arras, lazo, etc) into their Mass, and more importantly, would you be willing to share the prayers that you are using for those parts of the ceremony? I want to do the arras and mantilla (I'm Cuban, so we do this instead of the lazo) but can't find any wording for the prayers/blessings ANYWHERE! Our wedding is in Minnesota, so unfortunately our priest has never heard of these traditions. Do any Latina ladies on the Catholic board have ideas?

I know that women have posted about these before -- did you try searching the forum?

Edit: I found these two things.

Sample prayer from TK Latino Weddings:

Info about wedding ceremonies (I think) in Spanish, so maybe there's info on Latin traditions?:

Okay, my Spanish is not great, but I'm pretty sure this one has a lazo prayer:

Thanks. I had searched the forums and saw that other posting, but it's literally the only example I've been able to find. I was just wondering if others had alternate wording that they'd be willing to share.

There's plenty of sites out there that explain what they mean, but not many that have the prayers themselves (for example, that second site that you listed has a prayer for the arras, but not the lazo).

Anyway, thanks! I'll probably end up using the prayers that were listed on the other forum.
