: hi!
: This coming Sunday i am planning on going to the Greek Orthodox Church in my area with my friends who go there. I was wondering what sort of apparel is appropriate. Are black pants or a skirt preferred? Thank you

Hi Jenna,
Even though this is a late reply, here goes. In Australia where I am, its taboo to wear pants in church. Its very frowned upon. All the women here wear skirts. It might be different where you are, but I dont think so. Down here the priests frown upon us wearing lipstick as it rubs off on the icons when you go to kiss them. So in future my suggestions would be to wear a skirt and you can wear makeup as long as you dont pack on the lipstick.
