THROWING COINS......

THROWING COINS……..

Throwing coins into water bodies

Into fountains, rivers and lakes

A practice from India to Italy

Water bodies essential for life

Seeking blessings or washing off sins

Throw copper coin into the river

Helps purify water

In Rome throw a coin over your left  shoulder

Into a fountain in Rome

Will bring you back to the place 

That you so much loved

Water a symbol of movement, change,

Revered as deities a sign of reverence

Throwing a coin to seek good fortune for rains

Sailors throw a coin into sea for good luck

The Trevi fountain  in Rome  the practice

Throw one coin to bring you back to Rome again

Throw two coins you will fall in love with Italian

Throw three coins will have you marry the person you met

Filipino  place a coin for bringing prosperity to home

Hang fengshui coins on the door for good luck

Lucky Pennie in your wallet, all day long you have good luck

In Catholic weddings 13coins representing Jesus and 12 apostles

A vow to support one another for ever, sharing and caring
