We're going to step back in to the Graeco-Roman world and learn about some unquestioned medical truths of their day, held by Hippocrates, Galen and Aristotle, which pertain in particular to hair and why Paul is so concerned about veils.

Asking for a friend.Thankfully we don't need to accept first century Graeco-Roman medicine in order to be an Orthodox Christian, but we really should use this opportunity to be challenged - are we living our lives in a way that looks like we've been transformed by participating already in God's future kingdom?
