For thine is the might, and thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
Choir. Amen.
And after the Amen the priest, taking the crowns, crowneth first the bridegroom, saying,
The servant of God, name, is crowned for the handmaid of God, name, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Then he crowneth also the bride, saying,
The handmaid of God, name, is crowned for the servant of God, name, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Then he blesseth them thrice, saying thrice,
O Lord our God, crown them with glory and honour.
Then the prokimenon of the epistle, tone viii.
Thou hast set upon their heads crowns of precious stones; they asked life of thee, and thou gavest it them.
