Description

Father Karaphillis presided at the wedding of his daughter Helen Karaphillis and George Jordan in July 1935 at the original St. Nicholas Church. Greek Orthodox weddings are particularly rich in tradition. For instance, the stefana (crowns linked with a ribbon) worn by the bride and groom symbolize the couple’s union and their status as king and queen of a new household. After the wedding, these elaborate creations are displayed in a special case, and may ultimately accompany their owners to the grave.
