The sacrament of matrimony in the Orthodox church. The holy mystery of marriage in liturgical practice

U ovom radu o sakramentu ženidbe u pravoslavlju pod liturgijskim vidom, nakon kratkog uvoda, donesen je pogled na razvoj obreda ženidbe u pravoslavnoj tradiciji, te teološko tumačenje sakramentalnog čina, odnosno privole zaručnika i blagoslova svećenika kao sakramentalnog znaka. Slijedi središnji, liturgijski dio u kojem je prenesen obred slavljenja sakramenta ženidbe (Čin venčanja, prema Velikom Trebniku u srpskom prijevodu Justina Popovića), i to obred zaruka, obred vjenčanja i obred vjenčanja «drugobračnih». Treći dio rada posvećen je liturgijskim i teološkim pitanjima mješovite ženidbe između katolika i pravoslavnih. Rad završava zaključkom o potrebi produbljenja teologije i liturgije ženidbe te ekumenskog dijaloga na ovo području.This work deals with the sacrament of matrimony in the Orthodox Church in liturgical forms. After a brief introduction the author presents the development of the rite of matrimony in the Orthodox tradition, as well as the theological interpretation of the sacramental act, i.e. the consent of the spouses and the blessing of the priest as a sacramental sign. Then follows the central, liturgical part in which the rite of the celebration of the sacrament of matrimony is presented, i.e. the rite of engagement, the rite of marriage and the rite of marriage of the “second-time married”. The third part of the work is dedicated to the liturgical and theological issues of the mixed marriage between the Catholics and the Orthodox. The work finishes with the conclusion that it is necessary to deepen the theology and liturgy of matrimony as well as the ecumenical dialogue in this area
