So I was browsing St. Moses bookstore when I came across this link:

So my question is, how does a monk buy something online?? :/

    With a credit card, or by COD.

    monks have credit cards?!?!?!

    It's for the people that play "monk pretend" at home... like in the Tamav Erini movie.

    What's COD? Something Something Debit, I'm guessing.

    In all seriousness: I used to think monks lived in the inner-wilderness on stale bread and spring water without seeing a single human.. turns out I've been watching too many movies from the 4th century and reality is different.
    You should visit the abbey in Texas. Those monks are online 24/7. Want proof? Shoot one of them an email right now and record the time it takes them to respond. Less than 2:37 minutes (unless it's from me, then it's 2 years and 37 centuries). Guaranteed.

    yea the only COD i know of is call of duty haha.

    but really? regularly use computers?
  • TITLTITL
    Yup, regularly.

    Google confirmed COD is Call of Duty. Maybe that's what he meant? Unless he was using another Aussie term to confuse all the Americans.

    30$... not bad I think I might get one ;)
    Firstly, why and how did you get to that??? :P
    Second, why are the selling stuff like that online?
    I would say, to start a church but a monk head cover?
    Why are the selling a holy tablet (loh mokadas)?
    Are any of you planing to transform bread and wine to body and blood
    in your homes.................................................................... ???
    That really made me laugh...
    God bless, Pray for me,

    Hey Cyril97,

    I think they sell it, so small (very small) churches can get ahold of them. I don't think that it would be anointed with the mayroon (I think that is what it is annointed with) yet.

    I don't know if I can understand the monks head covering though. I'm sure there is some wisdom behind it (or at least I hope there is :)).
  • AikotiEnsokAikotiEnsok
    maybe its a souvenir??  ???
  • Cyril97Cyril97
    A monk head covering... a souvenir ???
    From what, when he was a monk... ;)

    Ahahahha it gives you the opportunity to be a monk at home! Ahahah I will wear it and leave to a St. Anthony's monastery, I wonder if they would be able to catch me, they more likely will due to the lack of me having a beard, just kidding. The outfits are beautiful, so much history! God bless us all, please pray for me.

    Lol we needed a monk's clothes for a play in church
  • Cyril97Cyril97
    Lol,
    can't you just get a simple black dress
    or make one. It is pretty easy.

    I know a few monks that dont live in monasteries and serve in small churches until they get a bigger congregation or HH sends a priest there.  That is probably for them?
