“The man was always the head of the woman (cf 1 Cor 11:3), but respectfully, of course. For instance, Orthodox nuns will bless you if asked. This is followed by a kiss of the hand that blessed you, whether it is a priest or a nun, but she will, in turn, after her hand is kissed, kiss a man’s hand although they are the one’s blessing him.”

This is very true.I so love our nuns...even when they are lecturing me (which is just about every time I see them. Many of my fondest memories of Greece are of the times I spent with them. Just thinking of them makes me smile. What a blessing they are to us!

Yup, and you probably deserved it. :)

My sentiment just the same. :)
