The Crowns of Marriage with Fr. Elias Dorham
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
This week we welcome Fr. Elias Dorham back to the podcast with a unique take on marriage and the vows. Ann and Fr. Elias discuss their shared Eastern Catholic tradition with a look into the Byzantine Catholic marriage ceremony, and the Rite of Crowning. Fr. Elias shares the symbolism of the crowns, their connection to the vows, and how their meaning can be lived out practically through the love of all spouses for each other. The tradition of “Crowning” may be new to you, but it offers a beautiful lens through which to view your marriage and live out the call to serve your spouse and the world! Links: * Listen to Fr. Elias' previous appearance on the Podcast! * Learn more about Fr. Elias’ work on marriage enrichment and mutual forgiveness with Mt. Tabor Counseling * Infertility is Martyrdom Blog Post * Doors and Windows Blog Post
About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
