Appropriate Modest Clothing in Church

[Ebor]

The link is from an official site for a known, established ROCOR church. They say that it is ancient. They also call it an icon. They find it acceptable. They are a more authoritative source of information.

What is so horrible? There is an icon in St Seraphim's Church in Sea Cliff, New York (women's side..next to the middle window...if anyone wants to go look) which also shows the Theotokos with uncovered head. She is shown praying to a crusifix of Christ. It is a simply beautiful icon. There is no suggestion of anything immodest or western or any other thought when you look at it. I know since I have stood next to it since I came to this parish, well over 40 years.

That is very interesting. Thank you for the information, Liudmilla.

As to the rest of your post:

Right on!!

I think we are confusing Muslim outter displays as modesty and that is NOT what we are taught.

You are right... The images I posted clearly proves Orthodox women in the past did not wear Muslim-like clothes... This argument is fake.
