What Is the Common Cup in an Orthodox Wedding?


Home » Orthodox Christian Knowledge » Orthodox Sacraments and Life Events » What Is the Common Cup in an Orthodox Wedding?

During the Orthodox wedding service, the bride and groom drink from a common cup, symbolizing the life they will share together.

What does the cup represent?

Married life includes both joy and difficulty. Drinking from one cup expresses commitment to receive life's blessings and burdens together.

Is it Holy Communion?

In the contemporary wedding rite it should not be confused with the Eucharistic chalice.
