What is the churching of women?




"And Adam called the name of his wife Eve:
because she was the mother of all the living.
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife.
garments of skin, and clothed them.

And he said, 'Behold Adam is become as one
of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore,
lest he put forth his hand, and take also of
the tree of life, and eat,and live forever.'

And he cast out Adam; and placed before the
paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword,
turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
(Genesis Ch3:22-24)

The Churching of women is a blessing given by a Priest
to Catholic women after childbirth.
It is a ritual originating in the Jewish rite of purification
of women after childbirth in Leviticus Chapter 12.
If a woman gives birth to a male child she shall be unclean
for seven days.
If a woman gives birth to a female child she shall be unclean
for two weeks. Leviticus (Ch12:2-5)
The Catholic ritual blesses both male and female babies equally
with baptism.
The Catholic woman prays for her salvation the salvation of her
child through the intercession of the Virgin Marry.

Reflections~ If Original Sin is sex, then why is childbirth a blessing?
