The Meaning of Crowning

In the Byzantine tradition, the placing of crowns (or in some places, wreaths) upon the head of the bride and groom are apt symbols of this dignity, in which husband and wife assume responsibility for, and authority over, a family or "domestic church." They are also called to serve as helpers toward salvation to one another and their children, and caretakers for the world - assuming the duties that Adam and Eve were originally to have shared.
