The Cellebration of the Lords Supper which invites us to meditate of the Death of our Saviour, and which requires of us Holy Dispositions to partake worthily of it: the Cellebration I say of this Holy Sacrament, not agreeing very well with what usually passes at Christian Weddings, it is with great Reason the Authors of our Discipline has forbidden to solemnize any Marriage on the Days appointed for the Communion; no more than on Days appointed for Cellebration of a Publick Fast; because Fasting is an occasion of Affliction and Tears, and Marriage on the contrary, after the manner most People use it at this time, is of prophane Rejoycing, and very often of Debauchery and Excess. The Antient Church prohibited, although after several ways, to Cel∣lebrate Marriages in certain times, as appears by the 52 Cannon of Laodicea, and by a fragment of a Coun∣cil of Lerrida in the Year 524. Tom. 3. Concil. and the Second Council of Aix la Chapella, * 1.1 in the year 836 de∣fends in the 18th Cannon of the Third chap. to solem∣nize Marriages on Sundays, for the Reverence of the Day. Tom. 2. Conc. Gall. p. 394.
