Today, there’s been a steep rise in the vanity of men as regards their clothing. If a man’s got nothing else to pride himself in, he boasts about his wardrobe.

‘And Christ then said to him: ‘Go and do likewise’. During the time of the Lord’s three-year public ministry ‘certain people who were accustomed to gossiping’ (Saint Cyril of Alexandria), spread the following about Him: they said that He disdained the Law of Moses and ‘brought new teachings into people lives’.
