THE
ARMENIAN WEDDING CEREMONY
The ritual of Holy Matrimony of
the Armenian Church is one of the most inspiring
and uplifting rituals in the Eastern Orthodox
Christian Churches. Marriage is one of the seven sacraments of the
Armenian Church in which the couple are called to
make a vow before the Lord to be true to each
other for life.
Their matrimonial union is blessed by the Lord
through the Church. The marriage ceremony of the
Armenian Church is rich in ritual and symbolism. |

The crowning is the climax of the
wedding service. The crowns are the sign of the
glory and honor with which God crowns them during
the Sacrament. The groom and the bride are
crowned as the king and the queen of their own
little kingdom, the home, which they will rule
with wisdom, justice, and integrity. During the
crowning, the bride and groom face one another
and the best man stands between the two, holding
a cross over their heads. The rite of crowning is
followed by the blessing of the common cup when
a goblet of wine is blessed in remembrance of the
marriage at Cana of Galilee which was blessed by
Christ’s presence |
