This depiction is central to the Orthodox services of Holy Week, particularly during the Bridegroom Services (Orthros of Great Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday). The image of Christ as the Bridegroom invites the faithful to prepare their hearts for His return, reflecting on His boundless love and calling to repentance.
