"They left the head and worship the hat."

Post by Maria »

Does anyone know where one can find the reference to Elder Kallinkos' statement: "They left the head and worship the hat."
"Head" obviously refers to Christ, doesn't it? What is the reference to "hat?"

Please visit this post (link below) to find the context of this statement. Thanks.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

The hat is the Lord's name. The Elder refers here to the name-worshipers.
