MARRIAGE
We now study the sacrament of marriage.
Home Activities:
- Show your child pictures of your wedding, that of your parents, etc. They’ll want to know all the details.
- Have an anniversary celebration.
- Review the stories of famous Bible marriages – Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Rachel, Ruth and Boaz, Zachariah and Elizabeth. Color their pictures for a special book.
- Reread the story of the wedding at Cana, read at each Orthodox wedding.
- Review the names of the 2 parts of the wedding ceremony – betrothal and crowning – and what happens at each. Sing the wedding processional.
