Then the vows (which are not really part of the Byzantine ceremony
but are an adaptation from local custom) are made. The man and
woman are then Crowned in marriage they are held to be a king
and queen of Gods creation: their household, their family is the
domestic church. The crowns are also the martyrs crowns, the
martyrs being the witnesses (the meaning of the Greek wordmartyr)
to the faith. The husband and wife witness to their faith by their
union which, as St. Paul tells us (in his letter to the Church at
Ephesus that we will hear), is the mystery of the union of Christ and
the Church. The Priest blesses the marriage with the words: O Lord,
our God, crown them with glory and honor.
There are readings from Scripture: an Epistle read facing the Altar,
since it speaks of Christ; and the Gospel, read facing the people since
the Holy Gospel is Christ speaking to us. (The Altar is the area, set
apart by anicon screen,where theHoly Tableis located behind
the Holy Table is a seven-branched lamp and the Cross flanked by
ripidia, ceremonial fans). Our general way of praying the liturgy is
for all priest, deacon, people to be oriented: facing the Holy Table
addressing our prayers to God.
After another litany and prayer, the priest leads the couple around the
tetrapod upon which is the Holy Gospel Book. This first walk as a
married couple is appropriately around the Gospel Christ the
center of married life for the Christian couple.
This celebration of Crowning (Marriage) and the readings from
Scripture replacethe usual beginning of the Divine Liturgy (our term
for the Mass). This is the part that corresponds to what is often
termed the Introductory Rites and the Liturgy of the Word.
The Divine Liturgy picks up at this point with the singing of the
hymn, Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim This
corresponds to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We, the Church, do what
Jesus did whenever (as the Gospels tell us) He touches bread: He
takes the bread, bless and gives thanks, breaks it, and gives it to His
disciples. We take the gifts (bread and wine), we bless and give
thanks, we break the bread, and we are given the Holy Gifts back in
Communion.
The true seal of marriage, the communion of persons, is the receiving
of Holy Communion the body and blood of the Lord by the
husband and wife.
Between the blessing at the end of the Liturgy and the dismissal
there are additional prayers for the couple; these are the conclusion
of the marriage service. After the dismissal an intonationis made
for the peace, health, happiness and salvation of the newly-weds. In
addition to English this is traditionally sung in Slavonic, the ancient
language of the Ruthenian Church (and other Slav churches).
W
e pray that you find in these services an opportunity for
prayer and closeness to God.

The Priest meets the couple to be crowned in marriage at thedoor of the church. After leading them to the customary place,
the betrothal service begins.
Deacon: Master, give the blessing.
Priest: Blessed is our God, always, now and ever, and
forever.
Response:
Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.
Priest: O eternal God, You brought together those who were
apart and established an indissoluble bond of love
between them. You blessed Isaac and Rebekah and
made them heirs to your promise; now bless theseyour servantsN.andN., directing them in every good
deed.
For You are a merciful God who loves Mankind;and we glorify You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,now and ever, and forever.

virgin from among the gentile nations, bless this
betrothal and unite and keep these your servants in
peace and oneness of mind. For to You, Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, is due all glory, honor, and worship,
now and ever, and forever.
The priest now takes the ring for the man, blesses him with it
by making the sign of the cross over his head, saying:
The servant of God,N., is betrothed to the servant of God, N., inthe name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
The priest places the ring on the mans finger. Then, taking the
other ring, he blesses the woman with it by making the sign of
the cross over her head, saying:

Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.
Priest: Lord, our God, You accompanied the servant of PatriarchAbraham when he was sent to Mesopotamia to choose a wife for his
lord Isaac. By means of a sign, the drawing of water from the well,
you showed him that he should betroth Rebecca.
Bless the betrothal of your servantsN. andN., and make the words of
commitment they have spoken a reality.
Sustain them with the holy union that comes from you, for you mademale and female from the beginning and you are the One who
matches a wife to her husband so that she may be his helpmate and
the human race may continue. And so, Lord our God, who extended
your faithfulness to your inheritance and your own promise to your
servants, our fathers, your chosen ones in every generation: look
kindly on your servantN. and your servant N. and make good their
pledge in trust, concord, fidelity and love.
For you, Lord have declared that pledges be given and faithfully
fulfilled.
By a ring authority was given to Joseph in Egypt. By a ring Daniel
was exalted in the land of Babylon. By a ring Tamars innocence was
proven. By a ring our heavenly Father showed compassion for his
prodigal son, for he said: Put a ring on his right hand, kill the fattedcalf and let us eat and celebrate. Your own right hand, Lord, armed

mighty word and your uplifted arm bless the right hands of your
servants.
Therefore, O Master, with a heavenly blessing bless now this puttingon of rings and may your Angel go before your servants all the days
of their life.
For you are the One who bless and sanctify all things, and we sendup glory to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever andforever.
If it is the custom, the couple now place each others ring on
the hand where it will be worn.
The Priest gives the wedding candles (if it is the custom) to the
couple, and leads them into the church.

Deacon: Let us pray to the Lord.
Priest: O God most pure, Author of All Creation, You, in Your love
for Mankind, transformed the rib of our forefather Adam into awoman, and blessed them saying: Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth
-10-
and subdue it. Through marriage You made them two in one flesh;
for this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined
to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. Those whom God
has joined together, let no man put asunder.
In Your loving kindness You blessed Your servant Abraham; and,granting fruitfulness to Sarah, You made him the father of a
multitude of nations.
You gave Isaac to Rebekah and blessed them with children. You
joined Jacob and Rachel, raising from that union the twelve
Patriarchs.
You united Joseph to Asenath and blessed them with children,
Ephraim and Manasseh; and, accepting the prayer of Zachary and
Elizabeth, You revealed in their child the Forerunner, John the
Baptist.
You caused the ever-virgin Mary to blossom forth in the order of
nature from the root of Jesse, and You Yourself became incarnate of
her and were born of her for the salvation of the human race.
In Your indescribable graciousness and great goodness You came to
Cana in Galilee, and blessed the marriage which took place there.
Thus You made it clear that it is Your will that there should be lawful
marriage and from it the procreation of children. Now, Most Holy
Master, hear the supplication of us, Your servants. As You were
there, so also be here with Your invisible presence; and bless this
marriage, granting to Your servantsN. and N., a peaceful and long
life, matrimonial chastity, mutual love in the bond of peace, a
long-lived posterity, happiness in their children, and the unfading
crown of glory. Keep their married life above reproach, and grant
them to see their childrens children; give them dew from heaven and
the fruitfulness of the earth; provide them with an abundance of
temporal good things, that they in turn may share their abundance
with those in need; and grant to everyone here present with them allthat is necessary for salvation.

Priest: O Holy God, You formed man out of the dust of the earth.
You fashioned a woman from his rib and joined her to him as a
helpmate; for it pleased Your great generosity that man should not be
alone upon earth. Now, O Master, stretch forth Your hand from Your
holy dwelling place and join these Your servants N.andN.; for You
alone join the wife to her husband. Unite them in one mind and flesh,granting them fruitfulness and rewarding them with good children.

Brethren: Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of
reverence for Christ. Wives should submit to their husbands as if to
the Lord because the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head
of His body the church, as well as its Savior. As the church submits
to Christ, so wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church. He gave
Himself up for her to make her holy, purifying her in the bath of
water by the power of the word, to present to Himself a glorious
church, holy and immaculate, without stain or wrinkle or anything ofthat sort. Husbands should love their wives as they do their own

bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Observe that no one
ever hates his own flesh: no, he nourishes it and takes care of it as
Christ cares for the church for we are members of His body. For
this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cling to
his wife, and the two shall be made into one.
This is a great mystery; I mean that it refers to Christ and the church.
In any case, each one should love his wife as he loves himself, the
wife for her part showing respect for her husband.
When the reading is completed, the priest blesses the Lector,
saying:

At that time there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother
of Jesus was there. Jesus and His disciples had likewise been invited
to the celebration. At a certain point the wine ran out, and Jesus
mother told Him, They have no more wine. Jesus replied, Woman,
how does this concern of yours involve Me? My hour has not yet
come. His mother instructed those waiting on table, Do whatever He
tells you. As prescribed for Jewish ceremonial washings, there were
at hand six stone water jars, each one holding fifteen to twenty-five
gallons. Fill those jars with water, Jesus ordered, at which they
filled them to the brim. Now, He said, draw some out and take it
to the waiter in charge. They did as He instructed them. The waiter
in charge tasted the water made wine, without knowing where it had
come from; only the waiters knew, since they had drawn the water.Then the waiter in charge called the groom over and remarked to
him: People usually serve the choice wine first; then when the guests
have been drinking a while, a lesser vintage. What you have done is
keep the choice wine until now. Jesus performed this first of His
signs at Cana in Galilee. Thus did He reveal His glory, and His
disciples believed in Him.

o e `
All Catholics who are properly disposed may, and areencouraged, to receive Holy Communion (for special
circumstances see the priest beforehand). Together, before
receiving, we say the beautiful communion prayer (below) with
devotion. Communion, the precious body and blood of our Lord,
is given as a piece of leavened bread in wine. It is given using a
small gold spoon that is not intended to touch the mouth of the
communicant. Follow these simple directions, but do not be
overly concerned about the details.
! You do not have to say anything (like Amen) before receiving.
!It is best to fold your hands flat on your chest.
!Tilt your head back slightly.
!Open your mouth wide.
!DO NOTextend your tongue.
!DO NOTclose your mouth on the spoon.
Receive the body of Christ,Drink the source of immortality.
It is proper to eat/chew the bread of Holy Communion.

fear of You, guard our life, make firm our steps, through the prayers
and intercession of the glorious Mother of God and ever-Virgin
Mary, and of all Your saints.
