Features: "May your lips kiss me" – this was the original title proposed for this book, which gradually evolved into the title that summarizes the fundamental thread of the book. However, the various considerations regarding the original title should still be given sufficient attention, as it highlights the significant role of the relationship (relatio) between God and humanity, as well as among people themselves, in Christianity. "May your lips kiss me" – these few words carry profound meaning: longing, desire, tenderness, love, and all that one can express through a kiss. Is that all? Is its meaning limited only to worldly emotions? The context of this phrase itself transcends this level. It comes from the Bible. The Song of Songs in the Old Testament – whose Hebrew title literally translates to "Song of Songs" (Luther translated it as Song of Songs) – begins with "May he kiss me with his mouth!" (Song 1:2). In this religious poem, a young couple expresses their yearning for the perfect other through an infectious portrayal. What a kiss can convey far exceeds what television, movies, and newspapers often present. In many cultures, kissing is a natural form of greeting. To kiss someone upon their arrival or departure. Kissing is a sign of affection and respect. In families, parents kiss their children, and children kiss their parents, expressing closeness and sincere love. Christian rituals contain numerous examples of metaphors and sacramental meanings related to kissing. Generally, a kiss is a symbol of supernatural love. In baptism and confirmation, kissing represents the acceptance of a person into the Christian Church. The Eucharist begins or ends with a kiss of the altar, a custom dating back to the 4th century. The meaning here is primarily that the altar symbolizes Christ, but it also signifies that kissing the altar expresses reverence for the remains of martyrs placed within it. Even today, there is a custom of kissing the Gospel after it is read. It is common for concelebrating priests and believers to kiss each other in a gesture of peace. This is a practice retained from the original liturgical regulations following the Second Vatican Council reforms. The original regulations included numerous provisions regarding kissing as a sign of respect and reverence, such as kissing the chalice, the breastplate, or the vestments. Eastern Orthodox liturgies have preserved kissing as a liturgical act. Concelebrating priests and believers kiss icons as a sign of reverence, which may seem peculiar to Western Christians. The implication of this act is that during the liturgy, heaven and earth meet, and this meeting encompasses all of humanity's senses – sight, hearing, taste, and touch. Just as icons are spiritually regarded as windows through which observers can "gaze" at the mystical realm of the saints, kissing is also a sign of human reverence for the divine. The meaning of a kiss has never been limited to the physical or worldly. Its ancient meaning is the transmission of power and unity. In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, the customs of kissing altars and statues were very common. The ancient Egyptians kissed the feet of their main gods, the Romans considered a kiss to be a sign of allegiance to an alliance, and in Islam, to this day, kissing the Black Stone (Schwarzen Steines der Kaaba) of the Kaaba remains the climax of the pilgrimage to Mecca.
