Marriage

In the Syro-Malabar tradition, the celebration of Matrimony is a joyous and solemn occasion, filled with rich symbolism and liturgical traditions. The couple exchanges vows before the priest and the community, pledging their lifelong commitment to each other. The ceremony involves the blessing of rings, symbolizing their eternal bond, and the crowning of the couple, signifying their shared kingship and priesthood in the domestic church. Matrimony is seen as a journey of faith, where couples navigate the challenges and joys of life together, relying on God’s grace and the support of their community. It is a call to build a loving and Christ-centered home, where children are nurtured in faith and values, and where the couple’s love serves as a beacon of God’s presence in the world.
