Holding hands

Two people hold hands, apart from in the case of a handshake:

to express friendship or love
to guide a child
to keep together in a crowd
for emotional support
to help the other standing or climbing up

Whether friends hold hands depends on culture and gender: in the Western culture this is mainly done by women and small children. In Arab countries it is done also by men.
