Another question... I heard that in the time of persecution by the Muslims in Egypt, the Muslims forced priest to wear a cassock and an ema. Is this true? If so then how/why would other orthodox churches wear it? Also if this is true why would the O…
wow! Sorry but I never dream like this. I don’t know how you get such dreams most people i know don’t have dreams like that either. They have to mean something though. For example did you think about angles the day before the dream? And did you thin…
