The ceremony is preceded by the sharing of a cup of mixed water, ''[[hanānā]]'' (dust from the tomb of a [[martyr]]), and wine, which mirrors the presence of [[Jesus Christ]] in [[Eucharist|Communion]] and is symbolic of the couple becoming one body.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.malankaralibrary.com/ImageUpload/8cbe709334d186a0f272183699f0a27f.pdf|title=East Syriac Theology: An Introduction|chapter=Theology of 'Rāzē: The Mysteries of the Church in the East Syriac Tradition|first=Jose|last=Kochuparampil|editor-first=Pauly|editor-last=Maniyattu|publisher=Ephrem's Publications|date=2007|location=[[Madhya Pradesh|MP]], India|pages=264, 267|via=Malankara Library}}</ref> This practice is retained by the [[Assyrian Church of the East]] in its marriage liturgies.<ref name=COE/>{{rp|18}} The crowning (''kulala'') is also practiced within the [[Chaldean Catholic Church]] and other members of the Chaldean [[Iraqi diaspora]] in the United States.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.usccb.org/catholic-giving/opportunities-for-giving/catholic-home-missions-appeal/upload/15-006_chm-newsletter2.pdf|title=Refugees Find a Home for Faith|magazine=Neighbors|publisher=[[USCCB]]|first=Beth|last=Griffin|date=Spring 2015|access-date=4 October 2022|page=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.chaldeannews.com/features-1/2020/1/27-traditional-chaldean-weddings|title=Traditional Chaldean Weddings|work=Chaldean News|first=Adhid|last=Miri|date=27 January 2020|access-date=4 October 2022}}</ref> |
