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.

Prayer: Lord, bless all married couples and their families.
