Wedding Crowns

Presenting Orthodox Wedding Crowns from Istok

Marriages are made in Heaven and the ceremonies are conducted within the sacred grounds of the Church. Orthodox Churches play a significant role in these proceedings with the crowning ceremony being the important part of the matrimonial tradition. It is vital to pick a pair of Orthodox wedding crowns and tiaras for the blessed couple. Within the Greek Orthodox faith, this wearing of crowns becomes an even more important ritual in the entire ceremony.

 

The Purpose of Orthodox Wedding Crowns

The donning of Greek wedding crowns by the bride and the groom is significant with the chanting of blessings that are specific to the proceeding itself. There will also be an exchange of rings during the ceremony. Wearing of the crown signifies that the bride and groom have subjected themselves to martirdom of family life, mutual love and agreed to become an authority and to share the responsibility of a family. A procession within the church is undertaken before the crowns are removed.
