(PHOTOS) 5 Faiths Friday: Sacred Apparel
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Tahlib
History will remember this week as the moment the world took notice of sacred apparel. What does what you wear say about your faith? Yes, the killing at a Sikh temple and their dress was major religious news for Americans, but around the world others focused on hijab wearing Muslim female athletes. Back in the USA, many young Americans were surprised by the new Rastafari dress of Snoop "Lion" (Dogg), while Buddhists complained about a new line of designer shoes. And on the other side of the world, Hinduism made the news with a new line of diamond-studded sacred jewelry, and we read news about how Zionism's leading artists captured the apparel of Judaism's leaders in the early years of the building of Israel. Welcome to this week’s 5 Faiths Fridays.
