Question

What should I expect during the ceremony?

Answer

Orthodox Christian ceremonies are rich in traditions (crowning, common cup, ceremonial walk) liturgical language, and will appear very different than a western ceremony. We understand this may be new to most guests, we appreciate you being here with us and encourage all to follow along the pamphlet we provide the day of.
