词汇	bride of the sea
词源	Bride of the Sea. Early in the 11th century, the wedding of the doge of Venice to the Adriatic symbolized the sea power of Venice. Every year the doge, in his state barge, the Bucentaur, sailed into the Adriatic on Ascension Day and dropped a wed- ding ring into the sea. This practice, still part of the annual cer- emony called the Sposalizo del Mar, is responsible for Venice’s historical name “The Bride of the Sea.”
