About this service
Holy Matrimony in the Orthodox Church Marriage is truly a great mystery, the mystery of the meeting of human love and divine love, the very sign and image of Gods presence with humanity. In the Old Testament, Israel was referred to as Gods spouse, while in the New Testament, the Church is referred to as the bride of Christ. These images attempt to convey in human categories what the Church Fathers refer to as the frenzied love of God for His people. Marriage is much more than a merely private transaction or contract between two individuals; it is an event in which Jesus Christ Himself participates through the presence of the sacramental minister, the priest, and that of the praying community, the church. In view of this ecclesial dimension of marriage, therefore, a wedding must be performed within the context of the Orthodox Church in order for the Church to recognize and affirm the validity and authenticity of the marriage.
