The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony:

​

Holy Matrimony is a sacrament of the Armenian Church in which a man and a woman solemnly vow before Christ, the priest, and the congregation to be true to each other for life. Their conjugal union is blessed by Christ through the Church.

​

The marriage of the Armenian Church is steeped in ritual and symbolism. Each of the acts that is performed during the ceremony has a special meaning and significance.

​

The decision to marry is one of the most important and irrevocable decisions one will make in life. To make a permanent and lifelong decision to make a commitment of love cannot be made lightly.

 

Hopefully you have made your decision after careful consideration of all the questions and issues that are the foundations of a good marriage.

 

When you and your future spouse are ready make your commitment of love before the Holy Altar and before the people of God call the priest as soon as possible to arrange for a date.
