Mounting The Stone
Asmaarohana: (Mounting the stone).
The bridegroom says the words while the bride stands up:
"Come, beautiful one."
And lets her put the tip of the right foot on the stone, saying:
"Come, step on the stone;
Be strong like a stone.
Resist the enemies;
Overcome those who attack you."
At the end of each round of nuptial fire, both the Groom and the Bride step on a stone and offer a prayer for their mutual love to be firm and steadfast like the stone.
