  1. Synesius of Cyrene to his friend Joannes (ca. 412):

    Congratulations on becoming a monk and wearing that drab grey robe. I admire you so much, and think you're so great, that I'm just gonna say grey is white in this case.

  2. In the aftermath of the Riot of the Statues in Antioch (387), John Chrysostom contrasted philosophers and monks on the basis of their actions...and their clothing!

  7. A sticharion (liturgical tunic) embroidered with the images of crosses and St. Demiana and the 40 Virgins who were martyred under Diocletian. Housed in the Byzantine and Christian Museum at #Athens, 18th/19th c.

  10. Some #SartorialTheology from St Hilary of Poitiers:

    "We must clothe ourselves in foolishness that we may gain wisdom; not in the foolishness of hazardous conclusions, but in the foolishness of a modest sense of our own infirmity."

    On the Trinity

  11. Gregory of Nazianzus gives us some #SartorialTheology in his second Oration Against Julian the Apostate. He reports a cross appeared in the sky over Jerusalem after Julian's project to rebuild the Temple failed and left marks on everyone's clothing.

  12. The diocesan museum at Albano had some papal vestments on display including these leather shoes worn by Pope John Paul II.

    The Crown that awaits King Charles III

    St. Edward's Crown has been used at Coronations for centuries. This is a ''new'' version, made in 1661 after the Restoration of the Monarchy.

    The original was melted down under the rule of Oliver Cromwell.

    as much as everyone loves the heavenly bodies met, Iโ€™m always sad that lynda carter never makes the list of favourites from that night
    (her crown says โ€œnever forgetโ€ in hebrew and she wore a star of david on the backโ€ฆ perfect playing with the theme)

    Theology 101: Sometimes theology wears dress shoes. Sometimes it wears flipflops. Sometimes it dons steel-toed boots, sometimes sneakers, slippers, or even skates. But most often it should wear no shoes at all, because it treads on holy ground.

    Well.. I don't personally think my garments are a "protection" from harm or a shield, like many portray them as Magical Mormon undies.

    To me, I wear them daily as a physical reminder of the promises I made in the temples to my wife and to God.

    Plus they're comfy! twitter.com/StarkWheelchair/st

    If God is the object of theology (ST.I.1.a7) then we canโ€™t just find theology happening in a library.

    Nor should we, as the photo implies, believe it is strictly the domain of habited men. twitter.com/RyanHaecker/status
