The history of the icons:When the bride and groom come to the temple to perform the church sacrament of Marriage, or otherwise a wedding, they bring two icons with them. By the way, a sacrament is called a wedding because when it is performed, crowns are placed on those who enter into marriage. The priest puts these icons on a lectern (the so-called high nightstand with a sloping lidin the church) in front of the temple. Sometimes, as marriages, those entering into marriage bring those icons with which their parents blessed them to marry.It can be some family shrines or, say, the icon of St. Nicholas or Saints Guria, Samon and Aviv, who often pray for a successful marriage, or the icon of the holy royal martyrs Tsar Nicholas, Queen Alexandra and their children, who showed a high example of the Christian family . But usually, nevertheless,these icons are not used as wedding ones, and a special wedding pair of iconsis acquired. In Russia, this is most often the icon of the Lord Almighty and the Kazan icon of the Mother of God, although there may be other images.After the sacrament is performed, the priest blesses the newlyweds with icon sand allows them to be attached to them, and then they are placed in the family iconostasis in the house of a new family.
