Denotes an antebellum marriage ritual used by [African-American] slaves, who were often prevented from legally marrying. With wide variations, the basic feature of the ritual was that the marriage union was solemnized by a young couple leaping together over a broom. This would be done in the context of a [family gathering]. Widely practiced in the American South, the ritual may have an African origin, or it may have been adapted from a similar ancient Celtic fertility ritual. "Jumping the broom" is currently enjoying a resurgence in [popularity] as a tribute to the customs of American slaves.
