About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of covering holy objects in the Orthodox tradition and the implications of the torn curtain of the temple.

God commanded that holy objects be covered, acknowledging their holiness and maintaining the mystery revealed. But if the curtain of the temple was torn in two, why do we Orthodox Christians still use a curtain? Why veil sacred objects? And what about head coverings?
