> Dear list members,
>
> I am working with the text of a German priest, Friedrich Sunder who
> describes his mystical marriage with baby-Jesus with the terms of
> bedding. According to him the mother of Jesus prepared a bed in which
> Jesus laid himself and then Mary united the soul with him. Sunder
> further describes the kissing and enjoyment of soul and Jesus and refers
> to the wedding feast in general.
> It seems that he utilises the marriage customs of German law that
> considered the bedding (concubitus) as an essential part of marriage.
>
> My question is, does any of you know further examples of bedding and
> mystical marriage. Are there other stories that would describe the union
> of soul and God with this type of at the same time 'legal and sexual
> terms'?
