| MARRIAGES
are solemnized on Saturdays and Sundays. Consult the pastor at least
six months in advance and before plans have been made for the wedding
reception. Marriages cannot be celebrated during the fasting seasons of the church year, or on Wednesdays and Fridays. Also, weddings are not permitted on the Feast of The Beheading of St. John the Baptist (Sept. 11 - Julian calendar), on the Feast of the Cross Elevation (Sept. 27 - Julian calendar), plus on the Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Pascha), on the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas - Julian calendar) because on these holy days (Easter and Christmas) our private rejoicing should be subordinated to that of the Church celebrating the Resurrection and Birth of our Savior. |
