Bishop Coming to Visit
Ok, so quick question for the rabble here... I know we have a few clergy and liturgical type Christians on this board - this is not a question about religion. This Sunday we Orthodox Christians will be celebrating Pentecost, which is one of the major feast days. I usually wear my kilt on these days (with the blessing of my priest). If it is a Vesperal Liturgy - meaning that the service is at night, such as for Christmas and Easter - I will typically wear my black argyle jacket with an evening sporran, and if it is a regular Liturgy (taking place during the day) I will typically wear my light gray polyester kilt jacket with a day sporran.
This weekend, along with Pentecost, our parish's original priest is going to retire and the Metropolitan is coming to visit. So my question is, which should I wear - the black argyle or the light gray polyester? And just to give a little more background, the Metropolitan is the head Bishop of the Antiochian Church in America - the next up from him would be the Patriarch of Antioch, the head Bishop of the entire Antiochian jurisdiction. So this is a pretty special occasion, and even the Liturgy will be what is called a Hierarchical Liturgy which is more complex and festive.
So what does the rabble think? Black argyle with an evening sporran, or light gray polyester with day sporran?
