The '''Mystery of Crowning''' is a ritual component of the [[sacrament]] of marriage in [[Eastern Christianity]]. Variations of the crowning ceremony exist in the [[Byzantine Rite|Byzantine]], [[Coptic Rite|Coptic]], [[West Syriac Rite|West Syriac]], and [[East Syriac Rite]]s of the [[Eastern Orthodox]], [[Oriental Orthodox]], and [[Eastern Catholic Churches]].
