TIE GREEK CHURCH.
HOW MARRIAGE CEREMONY is
PERFORMED.
Father IIotovltzky, Who Joined Julia
Dent Grant and Prince Cantacuzenc
Explains the Meaning of Various Acts
-Betrothal Is Always the First.

Since the recent marriage Of Miss
julia Dent Grant to Prince CantaCu-
zene az Newport, r. L., much curiosity
mas been felt in regard to the nature
OF the Greek church which
was necessary in order to render the
marriage contract valid under the laws
OF Russia. Father Hotovitzky, pastor
or theG Greek church in New York, met
this general desire by furnishing de-
talled Information on the subject. In
brief, this distinguished prelate says:
Inc sacrament Of matrimony in the
orthodox Greek church consists OF two
Tltes-that Of bctrothal and that Of
marriage. In the former the man and
the woman affirm their mutual engage
meHt before God; the rings are the
pledge CT the engagement. In the rite
CT marriage their union is blessed with
prayers, invoking upon them the grace
OF the Holy Ghost; OF that grace the
crowns which they wear are the visible
tokens. In ancient times it was the
custom to perform the rite Of betrothal
apart from that Of marriage, but now
the latter is performed Immediately
after the fOrmer AS 4 rule both rites
must be performed in a church in the
presence of witnesses, but in an excep-
uolal case the rites may be performed
IN a private house. In the rite of be-
trothal the priest, preceded by a Tampa
Gary, makes his appearance in the
church, holding in his hands a cross
and a testament, which he lays on the
lectern. Then he approaches the bride
and groom, who are already standing
in the aisle, and blesses them thrice
with two lighted candles, which he
hands to them, and then conducts them
back to the lectern swinging a censor.
When he reaches the lectern .le cere-
mony begins. First he takes the rings,
which he has already received from the
bride and groom in advance Of the
service. With the golden ring he
makes the sign Of the cross thrice
above the grcoE's head. with the
words, The servant of God, ~, is be-
trothed to the handmade of God, N, in
the name of the Father, and Of the
Son, and of the lIoly Ghost This he
repeats thrice, then slips the ring on
the fourth finger Of the groom's right
hand. The same proceeding is re-
peated with the brides silver ring.
After the betrothal, it is prescribed by
the caIons of the church that the
sponsor-the groom's best man-shall
change the rings thrice from enc to
the other, so that the brides silver

His words seemed to Undue her with
a sense Of strange undcfinable relief.
"Ah, yas-I suppose that would have

But Of curse it does not matter. 1t

added IN a voice particularly free from
any suspicion of regret.

REV. FATHER HOTOVITZKY.

ring remains with the groom, and the
g-oom's golden ring remains with the
bride. The rings are given in token Of
the lifelong union into which they
are entering.
Next comes the rite Of marriage.
When this stage is reached the priest
asks them each separately whether
they have spontaneous wish and the
firm intention to contract the CON
jugal union with each other and
whether they have not promised to
contract that union with some Il
else. On receiving their affirmative
answer to the first question ard their
negative to the second, the priest pro-
ceeds to the actual rite of marriage.
This rite begins with blessing the
kingdom Of the most holy Trinity, and
with the great Ectenia. To this Ec-
tenia are added petitions on behalf Of
the new cCEsorts, that they be granted
4 blessing upon their marriage, chasti-
ty, wcll-favored children and JOY in
them; a blameless life, an unfading
crow of glory in the heavens, and all
abundance Of the good things of the
earth, so that they may be enabled to
assist the needy; that the Lord may
help the wife to obey her husband, and
the husband to be the head of his wife;
that he may remember also the parents
who reared them, as parents prayers
make firm the foundations of houses.
Next the priest puts a crown On the
head of the groom. repeating the
words: Tho servant of God, N. is
crowned for the handmade of God, ~,
in the name OF the Father and of the
Son and Of the Holy Ghost This he
repeats, placing the crown on the
head Of the bride, after which he
blesses them thrice. saying, Oh, Lord,
cur Gcd, with glory and honor crown
them
After the ceremony OF marriage and
the blessing a psalm is sung, in which
the essence Of the sacrament OF matri-
mony is set forth: Thou hast set upon
their heads crowns of precious stones;
they asked life of thee, and thou CAV
est it them After this lessons from
the gospels and epistle are read. The
epistle lesson speaks Of the Importance
and of the mutual duties Of the con-
sorts; the gospel tells Of Christ's
presence at the wedding at Cana in
Galilee. The readings are followed by
the triple Ectenia and the Ectenia of
supplication, ending with the chant
ing of the Lords prayer. Then a cup
of wine is brought. The priest blesses
the cup and presents it alternately to
the husband and wife to drink from,
three times to each. This common cup
signifies that they must live In an in
dissolubie union and share with each
other Joy and sorrow. The priest then
takes the welded couple by the hands
and leads them three times around the
lectern; the best man and attendants
follow, holding the crowns above the
heads of the newly married pair.
During this, the m hymns are sung
as at an ordination. This ceremony is
symbolical Of the solemnity and indis-
solubility Of the ccnjugal union. The
priest now takes the crown from the
pair and addresses to each words Of
greeting and good wishes. To the hus-
band he says: 'Be thou magnifed, o
bridegroom. like Abraham, and blessed

A faint nod-a very different one

stands closer to President Diaz than
does any other official at present con-
Eected with the government of Mex
leo. Before he accepted the portfolio
OF foreign affairs in 1884 he had been

Senior Mariscal is said to be the best

Of Spanish-American politics. being
thoroughly ccnversant with the situa-
ton in every republic in all Central
and South America. This is by no
means an easy task when one consid-
ers the frequency of revolutions every
where else but in Mexico. Senior
Mariscal has a great admiration for
the United States, and every plan for
more cordial relations between the two
republics has had his cordial approval,
