Wedding in Orthodoxy: a little story

As you managed to find out, the rite of wedding in the Orthodox Church was held in Russia. And if now the church is bonded by a spiritual marriage only officially registered couples, it used to be the opposite: the unprecedented newlyweds were not recognized by the family. The ancestors believed that only God could become spouses.

Unfortunately, track the changes in the Orthodox Church concerning the mystery of the wedding is not real. However, historians managed to highlight two main points of the ceremony: the laying on the marriage crowns on the heads of the spouses and the use of marriage covers in the territory of the Byzantine Empire. The crown and cover are a symbol of the Holy Faith in the Most High.

Tradition to keep wedding candles appeared only in X-XI centuries. In the same period, the ceremony began with the words "Christ crown", but in the twentieth century a new tradition appeared to include in the rite the word "wary of God".


Wedding rules

Observe the rules established by the Church should not only be newlyweds, but also guests. If you doubt their knowledge in this matter, show care and provide close to people with the necessary information.


In most temples, the sacrament lasts about an hour. And, as a rule, newlyweds and guests are forced to stand throughout the ceremony. Think of your loved ones, and tell them not only about how to behave in the temple, but also think about how to entertain guests who will wait for you outside the walls of the church.

So, what you need to happen in the church:


You can buy the necessary components separately or purchase a ready-made set for the sacrament in the church bench. Everything that is listed above is needed for wedding in the church, even if you have been married for a long time.

All about wedding in the signs

How much is it worth listening to the signs relating to the church, there are stubborn disputes. Some insist that the church and superstition categorically cannot intersect, others are confident that such signs did not appear on scratch. And what direction do you take?!


Good marks associated with wedding:





Superstitions that should alert:

  1. Meeting of the funeral procession;
  2. Strong Crash of Wedding Candles - a sign of restless marital life;
  3. If the crown fell from the head of one of the newlywear, it means that soon widths.

After the wedding in the church, all the rules need to keep all the attributes (candles, tips, handkerchiefs, etc.), it is important that she is kept in the house of the spouses and was hidden from prying eyes. Otherwise, next time you can visit the church with a view to

The rite of wedding is not only a beautiful and ancient tradition, but also a responsible step towards creating a strong and happy family. Sometimes to this important step, the couple comes years later, only when people finally served in their feelings and intention to live together the rest of his life.
There are certain days for the wedding in the church. The most successful day for the mystery of the wedding is considered to be the 1st Sunday after Easter, which in the people is referred to as a red slide, in 2017.this day falls on the 23rd of April, and in 2018. This day drops on the 15th of April. For the convenience of determining the date compiled wedding Calendar for 2017 - 2018. From the calendar of the wedding you will learn what days according to the canons of the Russian Orthodox church you can hold a rite of wedding, and what days there is no (calendar at the end of the article), and begin with kom. you can and who can not be marred in the church.

Who can be marred in church

1. Basic requirements for newlyweds - to be members of the Church (be baptized people, wearing a native cross);
An important condition for the recognition of the reality of church marriage is the unity of religion.

2. Have a certificate from the registry registry register. This item is explained very simply - the registry office will not solve people who are already married and have no official divorce. In addition, the registry office will not collapse people who are not capable of marriage (insane, patients), people who are in close relationship, people who have not reached the marriage age forcibly forced to marriage. From my own note, the presence of a registration certificate for the weddings is a forced measure. From part, this requirement is imposed by the Church by state bodies. In the days of our grandfathers, there are quite a few of the marked couples without official paper, and some couples manage to get married without state certificate and now (for example, if the father knows you very well, and you are planning the painting in the registry office after the wedding)

Who can not be marred in the church


1. People in marriage more than 3 times. The church is the norm for the first time. The second time they walked into the church disapprovingly and allow a second marriage to condescend to human nonsense (the rite itself changes somewhat, for example, the crowns are not dressed). The third time is crowned in exceptional cases, if the reason for the respectful and man repented. For the fourth time, no one will behave - even widowing after the third marriage does not give the right to make wedding for the fourth time. State registration in this case does not have a similar restriction - and can register at least the sixth or seventh marriage;
2. Spiritual persons, i.e. Taking the sacred san. The conclusion of marriage is possible only to dedication to the sacred san. The priest may have only one spouse if this is a married priest. The monk may not be a wife for the virtue of the vows. Violation of this rule - threatens the deprivation of the sacred san;
3. Monks and nuns after bringing vobs, it is also impossible to be marred in the church;
4. Guilty of termination of the previous marriage. For example, guilty of treason, because of which the first marriage will terminate, cannot enter into a new marriage;
5. Those who do not fall into certain age boundaries. At the moment, the lower age limit to commit the wedding should be considered the offensive of civil majority (age in which the conclusion of marriage in the registry office is allowed). In church marriage right, the upper limit is established for marriage: for men - 70 years, for women - 60 years;
6. An obstacle to marriage is the lack of consent on him from the parents of the bride and groom. This type of obstacle should be considered only if the parents of future spouses are Orthodox Christians. Children of Orthodox parents cannot be married to witnessly, without parental consent;
When receiving the blessing of the parents is impossible because of their disbelief, it is worth asking the blessings of the bishop at the conclusion of a church marriage without the permission of parents. The bishop has the right to bless the marriage and if parents do not agree to the marriage of children in illegal reasons.

Why not wary in the post?

This is explained by the fact that during the post, the believers should attend worship, and not to arrange a marriage feast. Previously, marriage was called only the wedding, and the very word "marriage" comes from the Slavic word "Brasho", translating the "PIR" or "food". The post is the time of abstinence, including the spouse. Not allowed during the post to attend entertainment places - a person should morally cleanse during this time. If you look at the wedding calendar, then in a year more days, when they are not crowned than days when the wedding is allowed.
On the eve of weddings, Orthodox Christians should adhere to the post, the Liturgy should also be visited before the sacrament, confessing and coming.

Relegations of paganism make themselves to know to this day, manifesting themselves with all sorts of unprecedented and all sorts of superstitions. The word " superstition" (Educated from "Suge" - in vain and "faith", literally translated as "vain belief") - prejudice, which is a faith in any otherworldly. There is, for example, superstition that the randomly fallen ring during a wedding or an extinguished wedding candle foreshadows misfortune: divorce or early death of one of the spouses. The superstition is also common, that one of the newlyweds, who will be the first to enter the unfolded roaster will be the head of the family.
A superstition is common and about what can not be marred in May, and from the older generation, even about the fact that in Kiev (not to mention the villages or suburbs) often be heard "you will then have a whole life", etc.
In general, relative to the dates of the wedding superstitions are a lot. For example, the total number of weddings in a leap year is noticeably falling, and it is connected exclusively with superstitions. 2016 is a leap and many for some reason believe that it is not desirable to marry or get married in this year. A year that comes after the leap 2017 is considered in our people the Year of the Black Widow, which means again there is no prosperous for marriage. So, we have a crazy situation - in which in which two years out of four for incomprehensible reasons are considered unsuccessful. This is what the Church says on this topic: "The" leap year "is the calendar needed to calculate accurate astronomical dates. Therefore, people who consider a leap year unsuccessful for any affairs and undertakings (for example - marriage), fall into sin, because superstition is just that natural subjects are attributed to the supernatural meaning. "The devil, trying to reject us from the feats of virtue and suppress peaceful jealousy, taught people happiness and misfortune to attach days" "(St. John Zlatoust)
Such fictions and superstitions should not worry a believer. And if you go to such a step as a wedding - you must be believing people. To such accidents, how the rings drop or the fading of the candle should be treated exactly as chambers.

What you need to bring with you to wedding

So, you have chosen the day and you have been assigned time convenient for you. You will need to prepare in advance:

1. Bottle of red wine (koror);

2. Little loaf or bread (left in church), not in all temples is a mandatory point;

3. 2 candles, 5 towers (wedding set);

4. 4 nasal boards (two - witnesses to keep the wints and two - newlyweds to keep candles);

5. Couple icons: Savior and God's Mother

6. Rings (as a symbol of eternity of marriages)

Rings You will give a priest or his assistants, and they will be covered on the throne. Pushniks you also give to the wedding assistants. Of the 5-tanks - one must be big, it will spread it under your feet when making the sacrament. One is put on a loaf or bread, two more push on the icons with which you will come out of the temple, and the last roaster - will be used to bind your hands during the sacrament.

You must understand that not in every temple you can buy beautiful wedding candles and the towers for them. Take care in advance about it, they can be purchased in large temples or in Orthodox stores. Now they are selling ready-made, equipped wedding sets, although in fact, ordinary church candles are suitable for the sacrament. All visible beauty is needed only for you and does not affect the number of "grace" you will receive. The most important thing during the wedding is your prayer.

The magnificence of the temple decoration - painting on the walls, icons, professional choir and bell ringing on completion - all this is necessary to create a holiday, as actually and wedding photographer, At your request, all this is beautifully coming. From myself I will add - that in the photo or video filming of the wedding you need to take a blessing, asking in advance permission from the father, who will be wary. The shooting is not prohibited, but the photographer operator must be imperceptible during the wedding and should not interfere with anyone from those present. I, for example, in time the wedding shooting is not using flashes and remove only over the light lens and open diaphragms. Ordering wedding photo services - Remember that wedding is primarily the sacrament, and not a photo session - and your photographer should be a professional.

Now everywhere the mystery of the wedding begins with the engagement. The engagement occurs closer to the entrance and only after it the pair enters the center of the temple. During the engagement, the priest gives into his hands the two lit candles engaged - a symbol of joy, heat and purity. After that, he puts on the rings, the first put on the bridegroom, then the second is the bride, and three times (in the image of the Holy Trinity) changes the rings on their hands.
After the young couple enters the temple - the priest asks for good whether a marriage is made in good defense and wishes. Next, three prayers are pronounced, they are requested by the blessing of God on the combined marriage. Then the crowns are taken out (which the people call the crowns, because they are always decorated like crowns) - and assigned to the heads of young. The crown is the image of the crown of the kingdom of heaven, and even this is a symbol of martyrdom. Life is not cloudless and simple and in order to live together to end to the end you need to have patience, comparable only with the patience of martyrs. In some temples, witnesses do not hold the crowns over their heads, they are put on their heads.

The main mortage of wedding occurs when the priest blesses the newlyweds three times with the words: "Lord God God, Gleva and Honor of Velchae," Then the Bowl with wine (red wine in it is the symbol of the blood of Christ, and the bowl itself is a symbol of the common everyday bowl of joys and sorrows, which Spouses must share until the end of their days). The priest in three techniques gives to drink from the bowl of the bride and the bridegroom. Then he binds their hands with the Rushnik and drives three times around the table with icons, under the singing of the wedding choir. The circle is a symbol of eternity and continuity, because the sacrament is forever. The move behind the priest is the image of the church ministry.
At the end - the priest gives a young kiss the cross, the icons, and then give them an icon in their hands and says a small sermon - instruction. After the instruction of young people can kiss, and relatives and relatives who came to approach and congratulate the young Christian family.

Only the ruling bishop of the diocese (area) can terminate the church marriage, where wedding was performed, and only in case of treason of one of the spouses or for another serious reason (for example, the death of one of the spouses). "That God combined, that person does not separate"

The chin rite of wedding in the form, as it exists now, in the first century of our era, that is, in the origin of Christianity.

But the church marriage was then accomplished after the liturgy - the most important Christian worship service, and in our days the wedding was taken as an independent action.

The goal of the rite is to give an oath of loyalty before God, bless your union by God's blessing and get a blessing for the birth and raising future children.

The first part of the sacrament - the engagement

It is intended to inspire newlyweds all the importance of the sacrament of marriage, cause awe in their hearts and reverence before this event.

Blessing

Initially, the "newbest" are in the focus - an extension in front of the entrance to the temple, which is usually separated from the temple itself with a doorway. The groom becomes the right, the bride on the left, both turn face to the altar.

Wedding rings are put in advance for the throne in the altar and are there during the liturgy. When the rite of wedding begins, Deacon, following the priest, on a special tray makes them.

The priest, depicting at this moment Jesus Christ, is suitable for newlyweds (those in turn, equal to the pristine progenitors of Adam and Eve, beginning with a new and holy life in a pure marriage), holding two last minute candles - a symbol of purity and chastity.

He blesses the groom three times and three times - the bride, repeating: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (the young at the same time they embarrass each time), transmits them with candles (or does not transmit if someone from marriage is wary Not for the first time).

The blessing is completed by the crosses, which speaks about invisible presence on the sacrament of grace of the Holy Spirit.

Obtain

After the blessing, the priest leads newlyweds to the center of the temple.

Taking ring GroomHe repeats three times: "The slave of God is engaged (the name) of God (name) in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit," the groom's groom every time, and then puts his wedding ring on the Unnamed finger of the right hand. By the way, we are on what hand rings are representatives of various denominations.

The same actions priest performs with ring of the bride, I repeat three times: "The slave of God (name) is engaged in the slave of God (name) in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Exchange rings

The newlyweds are exchanged three times with their rings, expressing these consent and the unanimity and promising to give each other for life. The priest himself can change the rings.
During the rite, he also appeals several times to the Almighty with a prayer, asking for the Lord to bless young and approve the engagement.

How is the rite of wedding

Conclusion of a natural marriage, or free union

The purpose of this stage is confirmed by the bride and groom of voluntary and irrelevant intention to enter the marriage.

On the analogue (so called a high rectangular table with a low-top riding, which usually stands in front of the iconostasis in the middle of the temple and is applied during worship) lie the Gospel - the symbol of the presence of Christ, Cross - a sign of his love, as well as the crowns. Before analog, the white or pink handkerchief is spread in advance - a symbol of purity and unity of life in marriage.

The bride and groom with burning candles in their hands follow the priest with the cadylcer (just like will follow all commandments of the Lord), become on this boards and in front of the servant of the Church and all those who came to the ceremony confirm that they the decision to enter into a legitimate marriage is voluntary and irrelevant and that previously none of them gave promises to some third party to marry him.

Chin wedding

Most important and responsible moment all the wedding ceremony.

After reading three prayers addressed to Jesus Christ and the Tritian Lord, and asking them all possible everyday and spiritual benefits for young, the father takes crown, baptizes the groom, after which he should kiss the image of Christ, located on the front of the crown.

At the same time, the priest says: "The slave of God (name) is married (name) in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Then also priest blesses the bride, allowing her to make it three times to the image of the Blessed Virgin on the crown and uttering: "The slave of God (name) is married to God (name) in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

After the father reads three times secret prayer, every time a blessing of the newlyweds by the Iraiean blessing: "Lord, our God, Gleva and the Cement of the Velchance of them."

Crowns intended for young symbolize the wints of the kingdom of God - The life is eternal, remind of a tern wreath, we are going to be for the heads on the head of Jesus Christ, and also mean that in marriage husband and wife should be one for another as the king and queen.

After reading the fragments of the messages of the Holy Apostles and the Gospels, in which the union of newlyweds compares with the Union of Christ and the Church, the priest calls on the newlyweds and all those present to read the prayer "Our Father".

In token of devotion to the Lord and Submissions Young must kill heads under the crowns.

Total Bowl, or Communication Bowl

The priest brings newlywed wine in one cup.

Red wine symbolizes genuine loveIn which young people in the upcoming family life should turn the truth of their feelings compared with clean fresh water: both the wine becomes from year to year everything is better and love should become deeper and more fully.

A single bowl is symbol of common fate of young. The bride and the bride are trotter and alternately drink wine with small sips.

Procession around Analia

The priest connects the right hands of young, covering them with an epithille - a long ribbon, enveling his neck and both ends descending on the chest. On top he puts his hand as if faces of the Church Transfer to his wife's husband.

Without silent hands, the priest creates young people around the naew.

Then the Batyushka says: "The perceive of the crowns of them in the kingdom of yours" and, reading the solemn prayer "exalted, the faint, Jacques Abraham," removes the crowns from the head of the bride and groom, and they should kiss chascely, testifying the holiness and purity of mutual love.

The royal gate of the groom should kiss the icon of the Savior, and the bride is the image of the Mother of God.

Newlyweds are changing in places and again kiss the icon and crucifix, and the priest hands them with two icons that the relatives of the newlyweds gave it in advance: for the groom - the image of the Savior, for the bride - the image of the Most Holy Virgin.

The wedding is completed by the proclamation of multi-breeding and congratulations to the guests.

How many wedding lasts in the church

The whole rite lasts a total of about 40-50 minutes and is committed, as a rule, after the Divine Liturgy - between 11.00 and 13.00.

To whom and when you can not get married

The rite is possible only when some conditions are met:

  • Conducting the mystery of the wedding is allowed only after registration of marriage in the registry office. However, if the church prevents this circumstances recognizes respectful and serious, an exception can be made for people who want to enter into marriage.
  • In Christian wedding ritual, they can take part only believers baptized Orthodox Christians. In the opposite case, a person has no right to be a member of church sacraments.

Other restrictions include the following circumstances:

  • a significant difference in age (in this case, it is necessary to obtain a special permission of the bishop);
  • blood relationship up to the fourth degree;
  • marriage between consolidated relatives, between the only combustion (that is, having a common father) and one-utilized (having a common mother) brother and sister.
  • According to the church calendar, the wedding is not held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays; in days preceding the two-month and great holidays, as well as the throne temple days; During the densit and multi-day posts (Great, Petrov, Uspensky, Christmas), and in addition, 10, 11, September 26 and 27.

Preparation in wedding

So that the sacrament took place in accordance with all the canons, and certain moments were not for someone surprise, to the rite it is necessary to prepare in advance

  • Pre-acquaintance with the clergy of the temple and the choice of "his" priest. It is better to ask him in advance all the questions exciting you and clarify important details.
  • Stage recording - 2-3 weeks before the wedding. With a priest, you need to discuss not only a date, but also a specific time. Do not forget to include this item in.
  • Vidnal preparation. By this time, it should be accessed particularly responsibly, as church canons impose certain requirements for the color and cutting dresses for the wedding.
  • Purchase attributesrequired for the rite. This includes icons, wedding candles, towel, wedding rings, and others. What icons are needed for wedding and better clarify in advance and then discuss with the priest.
  • Spiritual cooking. The decision to be marred in the church should be suspended and conscious. The bride and groom gathered to go to the altar, it is necessary to prepare morally. First, they should understand that the marriage illuminated in the Church cannot be terminated by an unimprovant, and violation of the vision of loyalty is an unconditional sin. The second, on the eve of the wedding young to be confessing and coming, in advance - for 3-4 days - prepared for these sacraments through the check, that is, through the feat of the post, prayer, repentance and communion. In some cases, confessing and coming up with young permitted on the wedding day immediately before the wedding.

Wedding is a sacrament that happens on a strict canon, requiring a weighted solution and awareness, which is needed for this rite. I want to talk about important aspects that it is worth considering newlyweds when organizing a rite.

  • Native crosses
  • Rings
  • Wedding candles
  • Wedding icons
  • Rushnik
  • Shawl
  • Cigorm
  • Marriage certificate
  • Dress and shoes

For each of these attributes, you need to pay special attention, so I will tell you about each of them in detail.

Native crosses - An important wedding rule is that the bride and groom should be baptized, otherwise the priest will not hold a ritual.

Rings- According to the ancient traditions, the bride ring was the golden, personifying the sun, the bride had a ring of silver, as a symbol of heat and light in the house. In the modern world, this tradition is no longer obligatory and you can use both the same and different rings, it all depends on your personal preferences.

Wedding candles - During the entire ceremony, a couple in their hands should be wedding candles. Throughout the rite, they should burn and do not guess, thereby personifying the light and warmth for your family. Therefore, you need to pay attention to thick and large candles, because on average the duration of the rite takes 30 minutes, or even more. For convenience, there are also stands under the candles, so that the wax does not drop to you by creating discomfort.

Wedding icons - You need to buy two icons in advance and sanctify from the father. Usually a couple crowned with the images of the Savior and the Virgin Mary. After the ceremony, the icons remain with the newlyweds.

Rushnik - At the very beginning of the ceremony, the young must stand on the trench, which symbolizes the white sky. I want to warn that it should not be with patterns and other decorations.

Shawl - If you decide not to use the coasters for the candle, then you will need small handkerchiefs, so as not to burn your hands with hot wax during the rite. Also, the scarves will need witnesses to keep the wints during the ceremony.

Cigorm - Church Wine, which are also an integral part of the process. During the rite of bride and the bride, alternately drink it from the bowl.

Marriage certificate - Civil laws are important churches, so before holding the ceremony you need to provide a marriage certificate. The exception may be if the marriage ceremony is announced the next day after the rite.

Dress and shoes - There are no categorical rules, the bride can be on the wedding in a secular dress, but it must meet certain standards, for example, a deep neckline should be covered with cape or choose a more modest outfit. Shoes can also be selected to your liking, but I want to remind you that the rite is standing and quite a long time, so you need to choose not only beautiful, but also the most comfortable shoes.

Wedding rules

  1. The groom should reach the age of 18, and the bride is 16;
  2. Newlyweds should be Orthodox Christians;
  3. Parent blessing should be received (this is not mandatory for people who have reached adulthood);
  4. Wedding occurs after state registration of marriage;
  5. The couple should also prepare spiritually, make the sacrament, obstacle post and confess.

Witnesses

One of the important decisions in the preparation of the wedding will be the choice of witnesses. There are no too categorical rules here, but there are still things to pay attention to:

  • Naturally, witnesses, like everyone who will be at the time of weddings in the Church, should be baptized and have a full cross
  • An important feature on which I want to focus on is that, becoming witnesses, people among themselves acquire a certain spiritual relationship, which is equivalent to family uzam. Therefore, couples who later want to make marriage are undesirable as witnesses, since during the rite they will connect themselves with spiritual threads close to relatives.

In what cases can not be carried out

  1. The procedure is unacceptable among blood relatives (up to 4 knees);
  2. The second, third and fourth wedding is not approved by the Church, but permission to the ceremony can be obtained by proving that both spouses are married with other people or are widows;
  3. Unacceptable for people of another faith or atheists;
  4. If the young are not yet painted.

It also wants to mention that pregnancy is not a barrier for the wedding, the church on the contrary stands for the fact that the child should be born from a family that is consecrated by the Lord.

How to choose a date

The selection of the date of the wedding can be for a couple a whole problem, because there are dates when do it is prohibited:

  1. Orthodox posts (both one-day and multi-day);
  2. Easter;
  3. Church holidays;
  4. Solid weeks;
  5. The two-month turning and non-passing holidays.

Guests at the ceremony

On the rite of wedding may be present all who express such desire, but also to guests there are a number of requirements.

  • All guests must have native crosses
  • Women should not be in pants, light and modest clothing.
  • Heads in women should be covered with scarves
  • Men in festive costumes, if they are black, should be hoping a light shirt

Preparation for the wedding already living in marriage

What was already mentioned above, wedding takes place only after state registration of marriage, hence it follows that it does not matter whether the rite is happening the day after the painting in the registry office or after 20 years of living together.

But in a situation, if you have already been married for a long time, it is necessary to provide possible problems for the wedding:

  • If the blessing of the parents was not received on time, the priest can give a refusal
  • A situation is possible when in a close environment will not be unmarried people who could have witnessed
  • By the way, a person should not be married more repeatedly, it can also lead to a church failure to hold the ceremony (but I want to note that in the modern world the church has become more loyal in these issues)

Planning a wedding, I strongly recommend considering the previously described advice and rules, then this exciting event will pass calmly and bring only good emotions. But the main thing is remember, because it is not just a festive ritual, it is a big responsibility!
