    Just as a bishop wears a ring to signify his union with the Church, certain orders of nuns wear wedding rings to signify their 'marriage to Christ'.

    • I have often wondered about this myself, but had assumed that it was probably something like that.

    • Me too Glenn, I've noticed this and always thought the nuns were previously married before joining the convent. Thanks for the question Ted and answer Rincewind.

    • Speaking of plygamy, if all those nuns are married to Christ, is he not showing us that it is OK to have more than one wife?
