Important Role in Orthodox Wedding Ceremony

 

The Orthodox Christian marriage ceremony is steeped in tradition and symbolism. One of the traditions is to bless the couple with the presentation of wedding icons. The groom is presented with an icon of Christ the Savior whereas the bride is presented with an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. This act has a specific purpose – to remind the couple of their commitment made to each other before God. The presentation is done by the priest after the sacrament of Matrimony. 

 

Pride of Place in Home Iconostasis

 

It’s common for people to present the best quality wedding icons they can afford. Wedding icons are the first gifts received by the newly married couple and find their place as main icons in the home iconostasis of the married couple. In this respect, Istok Church Supplies offers superior quality wedding icons sets that can be passed down from one generation to the next.
