Crowning Ceremony

7:45 am - 11:30 am

In the Coptic Orthodox wedding liturgy, the Crowning Ceremony is the radiant heart of the celebration—a sacred moment where heaven touches earth and two souls are united through divine grace. As the priest places ornate crowns on the bride and groom, they are proclaimed king and queen of their new household, symbolizing not only honor but their shared calling to lead with love, wisdom, and faith. These crowns, rich in meaning, reflect the spiritual union between Christ and the Church and remind the couple that marriage is a holy covenant, not just a contract. Surrounded by prayers for purity, salvation, and everlasting glory, the couple steps into a new chapter, crowned not just with gold but with the unshakable grace of God—a moment of joy, reverence, and eternal significance.
