What I Wore sun [or What is a Maronite]

I'm linking upwards alongside the ladies at Fine Linen together with Purple for What I Wore Sunday. I've been wanting to create thus for awhile, but getting to Mass on fourth dimension is hard plenty without throwing inwards a photograph shoot. My solution? A Monday re-creation of what I wore to Mass yesterday, together with a footling explanation. 

I am a Maronite Catholic. What is that, you lot say? Well, inside what is usually referred to every bit the Catholic Church at that spot exists the Latin church building together with 22 other churches (notice the little "c"). Each has its ain liturgy, hierarchy, together with laws, all the same they percentage the same profession of faith, the 7 Sacraments, together with the Roman Pontiff every bit their head. The Maronite church building is i such church, together with traces its source to Antioch (modern solar daytime Turkey), i of the v centers of early on Christianity. Beginning inwards the 5th century, the Maronite Christians went to Lebanon, at firstly to evangelize, together with and thus increasingly to escape persecution past times monophysite heretics. The 7th century saw the ascent of Islam every bit a political together with violet forcefulness together with the firstly of centuries of Islam / Maronite conflict. In modern solar daytime Lebanon, Maronites incorporate the biggest grouping of the 39.9% Christian minority.

You are belike wondering how I became a Maronite. Well... past times marriage. Maybe to a greater extent than on that later, but things accept gone on likewise long inwards the give-and-take division every bit it is, thus right away for a few pics. Okay, a few to a greater extent than words.  Many of my swain parishioners are immigrants from Lebanon, or are children of Lebanese parents. In illustration you lot don't know, Lebanese women are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, together with real good dressed. This doesn't hateful that everyone wears dresses together with skirts (though that is common), it agency that only about clothing alongside the intention of dressing beautifully. Intimidating, I know. I was inwards a super rush yesterday, thus I threw on what is a standby non-dress Lord's Day outfit for me: basic dark operate past times (v-neck t, inwards this case), uncomplicated night trouser jeans, together with camel colored boots. I finished it alongside a camel colored coat. What create you lot think?
