The Marriage Feast & the Great Importance of the Wedding Garment

Christ our God tells the parable of the Marriage Feast in the Gospel of St. Matthew 22. All are gathered for the Marriage, and the King discovers one who did not have a wedding garment. That man was then ordered to be cast out into the darkness. How important is the wedding garment and what is the wedding garment according to the unending tradition of our Faith. It is no less that the white garment of our Baptism. In our Baptism Christ dislodges us from the curse of the fallen condition we inherited and clothes us with Himself; His Nature that He has lovingly and mercifully shared with us. And we are charged to keep our wedding garment clean, undefiled, and holy. Today, we consider how we may live a life where we may be found to be clothed with the wedding garment on the last day, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
