The Wedding Orthodox Icons is the name for an iconographic composition consisting of two icons: the Savior and the Blessed Virgin Mary. These hand-painted icons are used during the sacrament of marriage to bless the newlyweds. After the wedding ceremony, the young couple places their wedding icons in the red corner of their home.
The wedding images carry blessings and help create prosperity in the family. They promote reconciliation and mend broken relationships between loved ones, ease pain and grief, and preserve peace and prosperity. These icons are the first and foremost images in the family iconostasis.
The wedding images have the following meaning:
1. The icon of the Lord Almighty (the groom is blessed) is a symbol of the protector of the family who cares for his wife and children. Caring for them is his sacred duty. According to the Gospel, a husband should treat his wife with love, care and respect, treating her as a fragile vessel. A father wisely raises his children, applying both strictness and gentleness. Correct prioritization is the art of relationship that bears favorable fruit.
2- The image of the Virgin of Kazan (blessing to the bride) – calls for the care of the husband and children. The wife is the keeper of the home and helper in all areas of life. A virtuous wife is a gift from God. The husband is the head of the family. A wise wife, being humble, is able to extract the “precious myrrh” in any situation.
On the wedding or wedding day, icons of the “Crowning Couple” and saints are the most appropriate gift for a Christian family, which can be presented by relatives or friends. Icons can be ordered from an icon workshop to meet the following criteria:
