We’ll tell you all about handkerchiefs right now!

Particularly attentive parishioners probably managed to notice that on certain holidays the color variety of their sisters’ headscarves is replaced by the predominance of one particular shade. This is happening for a reason.

Experienced worshippers know that the color of the headdress is of great importance.

For example, white It implies the union of all the colors of the rainbow and is a symbol of the Divine Light. Therefore, snow-white scarves are taken to wear on especially solemn days. For example, Christmas and the feast of the Transfiguration of God.

Finally, I would like to say a few words about appropriate dresses for the church. Many women even at festive services prefer to dress as modestly as possible in order to show their piousness.

Wearing beautiful clothes is not a sin. On the contrary, wearing an elegant dress in the temple, a woman demonstrates her joy from the onset of a bright holiday.

Of course, you should not confuse service with a party and be too zealous in dress. In too tight or, conversely, lush clothes still should not be put on. But wear a light linen dress below the knees or a pretty calico sarafan (provided that the shoulders are covered with a scarf), as they say, God himself ordered.

Have you decided what to wear for Sunday service?
