A 38-year-old virgin decides to get married to Jesus in ceremony attended by hundreds.
This may look like an ordinary wedding with a beautiful bride in a white dress and hundreds of well wishers in attendance, but there is that glaring absence of the groom.
Jessica Hayes from Fort Wayne in Indiana was not in church to marry any ordinary man, but Jesus Christ himself.
The 38-year-old had chosen to be a consecrated virgin, a practice
which died out in the Middle Ages, died out until it was reinvented by Pope
Paul VI in the 1970s.
The virgin has pledged not to have sex for the rest of her
life and to dedicate herself to God. However, unlike a nun, she will stay in
the community and continue her job as a theology teacher. She said.
Also speaking with WANE.com she said : “This is a vocation
for women that feel that deeper call to spend their life more in knowing Jesus
and making that a public commitment in serving his church, but are also called
to live in the world.”
