[b]well , briefly, the 'bowl cut hair' is one form of 'Tonsure' (meaning to shear) in the early centuries Greek and Roman slaves shaved their heads, as a sign of that possession, and service, later, monks did the same to show being possessed by Christ, and as outcast from and leaving the vane world, a slave to Christ etc. . Thus the earliest Monastic/consecrated tonsure was a completely shaved head...there are various forms of tonsure, the crown one as seen earlier. leaves the circle of hair as a visual reminder(personal and public) of Christs Holy crown of thorns.[/b]St Francis would have had a crown circle tonsure, because he was eventually ordained a Deacon. after some time, in Christian monasticism, only clerics or those studying for the Priesthood, had a crown, while 'lay Monks' just had the head shaved. THe Celtic tonsure for example, was to be different from other clans haircuts, and showed possession by/to the monastic family, and distance from 'the world' and was thus shaved from forehead to the middle, leaving the back long. in the Eastern Church, still today, and the Latin Church when there used to be all the steps of dedication through to ordination,until 1965 when it was stopped, because of the 'updating', one could be tonsured(small circle, and cuts of hair..) at baptism, chrismation, upon receiving acolyte, subdeacon,deacon etc etc etc..as a sign of sacrifice, leaving the world, and most importantly Consecration......VERY Catholic, these outward signs and symbols of inward actions/desires. thankfully, this practice is returning in the Latin Church lets also not forget St. Paul, shaving his head because of a vow( Nazarite vow?) he had made. ------------------ candidate for Priesthood receiving first clerical Tonsure (snip of hair) Classic Roman Rite [img]http://www.maternalheart.org/pictures/7-2005-Tonsure/23-TonsureDamonn-1-sc.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.fssp.org/album/O20031025/124-2448_img.jpg[/img] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [img]http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/88801_ngs1r/2863189379.jpg[/img][img]http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/religion/christians/pictures/tonsure.jpg[/img] ---------------- [img]http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/26317_j1m7i/DOC84-008-9901-019.jpg[/img] - [img]http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/thumbs/large/88800_kghjg/20041114154830.jpg[/img] Edited June 22, 2007 by EJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
