07 February 2008The Yekaterinburg archbishop urges Orthodox women to follow Muslim counterparts who are not afraid to wear kerchief in public
Yekaterinburg, February 7, Interfax - Archbishop Vikenty of Yekaterinburg and Verkhniaya Tura considers it 'a retreat from the Lord's will' that the majority of Orthodox women refuse to wear kerchiefs in public places.
'I wonder why Muslim women are neither afraid nor ashamed to do it, even the little and the young. They stand before God or Allah, as they say, and are afraid of Allah's punishment. And why we are not afraid of the Lord's punishment?' the archbishop stated in a live broadcast at the Soyuz TV channel and on air of the Voskreseniye radio.
He reminded that covering one's head with a kerchief is 'God's instruction' as 'the Lord commanded that all women should wear kerchiefs.'
'And if a woman doesn't want to wear it or finds it embarrassing saying that most women don't do it and she will show up, she is seriously mistaken because she shouldn't look at the others,' Archbishop Vikenty thinks.
According to him, 'if everyone has the fear of the Lord and strives to fulfill His will, then little by little all will start wearing them (kerchiefs - IF) and there is nothing shameful in it.'
The archbishop has recently urged women to give up cosmetics and strive to preserve natural beauty.
'The Lord makes us beautiful, and we deform ourselves, we make freaks of ourselves. It is fraud and false understanding of beauty. It is just fashion. Look at eight or nine year-old girls. Why make them up? They are beautiful like angels! We spoil people with cosmetics,' Archbishop Vikenty stated.
