Mitres Or Turbans?

Mitres or turbans? In Exodus and Leviticus we are told that the high priest was attired with a mitre. But was this a hat like that worn by the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church and her daughter churches? Certainly not! The Hebrew word translated ‘mitre’ in the AV is mitsnepheth, based on the root tsneph, which the lexicon tells us means “to roll or wind around, to wrap around”. The word used in the Septuagint is kidarin, which Liddell and Scott’s Lexicon suggests refers to something similar to the peaked tiara worn by Persian monarchs. Therefore ‘turban’ seems to be the most accurate translation. According to an article in Wikipedia, “The turban is a headdress, of Asian origin, consist- ing of a long scarf wound round the head or an inner hat. The turban comes in many shapes and sizes, and the colour of turbans vary, with the cloth’s length being up to 45 metres. Early Persians wore a conical cap sometimes encircled by bands of cloth, which may be considered one of the origins of the modern turban. The turban did not become common among the Turks, but was common among Ottoman sultans”. So why do the bishops of Rome wear a mitre? The drawing on the left is of a relief of the Assyr- ian fish-god, who is very similar to the Philistine version known as Dagon. The headdress looks remarkably like the mitre of Rome, which as usual followed pagan tradition. In no way would Yanush, the Assyrian fish-god, who was God have told His priests to emulate the idols of similar to the Philistine god Dagon. the nations. Peter Cox 224 The Testimony, August 2009.

The Goodnewsletter A Newsletter for Members of St. Ann, St. Vincent de Paul & St. Patrick Parishes Stannlenox.org/[email protected] 134 Main St., Lenox, MA 01240 (413) 637-0157 Volume 4 - Issue 2 September 2016 A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR . On June 20th, our first parish meeting was held in the Family Center. There were some 55 people in attendance. To prepare for the parish meeting a survey was posted on the parish website and available for parishioners to answer. Some submitted an available paper survey. The results are posted on the parish web site and will remain available for anyone to consult throughout the year. Some 58 persons answered the survey. The results ran to some 50+ pages. A synthesis of the material will be posted on the website soon. However, I urge everyone to read the survey responses. All of the responses were well thought out and cogently expressed. There seems to be a remark- able consensus on many mattes and a thoughtful disagreement on others. At the parish meeting, fortunately, it turns out; I was not able to present a synthesis of the survey because I could not hook up my laptop to the projector. As a happy consequence the conversation among the participants begins right away, based upon what they wanted to express and not as a response to my presentation. The conversation was spirited and fruitful. Participants focused on three overriding issues: faith formation, stabilizing our financial situation, and outreach in general but particularly to youth and young adults. A variety of views were expressed and differences were very respectfully express and received.

How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?
How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

Tales of a Medieval Cairene Harem: Domestic Life in Al-Biqa≠‘|'S Autobiographical Chronicle
LI GUO UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Tales of a Medieval Cairene Harem: Domestic Life in al-Biqa≠‘|'s Autobiographical Chronicle Among the findings of recent scholarship on medieval Arabic autobiography1 is a reaffirmation, or redefinition, of the long-held notion that the realm of "private" life was "never the central focus of pre-modern Arabic autobiographical texts."2 To address this paradoxical contradiction between the business of "self- representation" and the obvious lack of "private" material in such texts, four sets of recurring features have been identified to help in uncovering the "modes" the medieval Arabic authors used to construct their individual identities: portrayals of childhood failures, portrayals of emotion through the description of action, dream narratives as reflections of moments of authorial anxiety, and poetry as a discourse of emotion.3 Other related areas, such as domestic life, gender, and sexuality, are largely left out. The "autobiographical anxiety," after all, has perhaps more to do with the authors' motivations to pen elaborate portrayals, in various literary conventions, of themselves as guardians of religious learning and respected community members (and in some cases, to settle scores with their enemies and rivals) than self-indulgence and exhibitionist "individuating." In this regard, a good example is perhaps the universally acclaimed autobiographical travelogue, the Rih˝lah of Ibn Bat¸t¸u≠t¸ah (d. 770/1368), who married and divorced over a period of thirty years of globetrotting more than twenty women and fathered, and eventually abandoned, some seventy children. However, little, if any, information is provided © Middle East Documentation Center. The University of Chicago.

'Stewards of the Mysteries' Mystery of Holy
‘Stewards of the Mysteries’ Mystery of Holy Priesthood and Church Hierarchy “As the Father has sent me, even so send I you.” - John 20:21 Christ is the Image of the Father as one of the Holy Trinity. Before His ascension into heaven, Christ bestowed His Holy Spirit upon His Apostles and consecrated them to represent Him upon the Earth, with the Lord Himself acting through them. The Apostles ordained bishops after them as their successors. Just as Christ was surrounded by the Apostles on this earth, whom He also sent out as His hands and feet, so also the Apostles and bishops after them ordain presbyters (priests) who surround them in the Liturgy and are sent to perform the Holy Mysteries (except ordination and consecrating Holy Chrism oil). The deacons are ordained for angelic service in the Holy Altar, and in the Church generally. “As the Father has sent me, even so send I you.” - John 20:21 “Let nothing be done apart from the bishop. Without these three orders [deacons, priests, bishops] you cannot begin to speak of a church.” - St. Ignatius of Antioch (d. 108 A.D.) Bishops: Successors to the Apostles, as icons of Christ. Priests (Presbyters): Surround the bishop as the Apostles surrounded Christ, and in like manner are sent out by the bishop to serve the Holy Mysteries and preach the Gospel as icons of Christ under the bishop’s leadership. Deacons (literally ‘servants’): Represent the Holy Angels serving at the Altar of God. The bishop stands before the Holy Altar, and the priests surround the bishop around the Altar as the Apostles surrounded Christ.
