In old times, a young man had to receive his girlfriend’s parent’s permission for the wedding. The engagement was announced after the parent’s agreement. This tradition is kept in some families also today. In the painting, a young couple came to their parents. A man intended to ask their daughter’s hand in marriage. The parents are glad and come with the holy icon to bless the young people.
I have a mother, father, and sister. I live with my family. I like animals. I like to play with my friends. I spend my spare time reading.
I’m not sure what I want to be, maybe a doctor.
