Description
The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is one of the seven sacraments of the Coptic Orthodox Church, highlighting the sacred union between a man and a woman. Instituted by God and sanctified by Christ, the sacrament is seen as a reflection of divine love, with key goals including cooperation between husband and wife, procreation, and protection against immorality. The rite is rich in tradition, consisting of three parts: the Betrothal, the Marriage Ceremony, and the Holy Matrimony. This sacred union is blessed with the symbols of oil, signifying joy and purity, and crowns, representing the royal and spiritual responsibilities of the couple. The Church emphasizes unity, continuity, and fruitfulness in marriage, ensuring that the Christian family becomes a living model of love and service within the Church and society
