Father Reynard







Here I am as Father Reynard. I wear the hat when I go outside, and the surplice (the white bit) when I do services. The cassock is my everyday church wear. Interesting fact: the cassock is actually the decendant of the Roman toga - even after it passed out of ordinary use, priests continued to wear it. Mine has twelve buttons down the front- to signify the twelve apostles.

hee hee, nice facial hair! Is it required for men of the cloth to practice that hands-over-belly pose?!

Well, it looks odd if I have my hands in my pockets. And threatening if I have my arms crossed. And awkward if I let my arms hang down. So hands over belly it is!

The fact that you have same smile and standing position in all of these photos reminds me of Lisa & Richard's wedding photos, in which I look like a cardboard cutout stuck in all images...others have variation in expression. I do not.
