The priest explained whether it is permissible to wear clothes of deceased people.

According to ТСН: Famous priest-blogger Oleksiy Filiuk from Ternopil region expressed his opinion on the superstitions associated with wearing things that belonged to the deceased. He shared this on his social media.

Priest's comment

«Why not? If my grandfather has died and there are good clothes left, why not wear them? Of course, wearing them is not a problem. If now, during this difficult time for Ukraine, children are dying and a mother wears her son's clothes in memory, or a wife puts on her husband's t-shirt associated with good memories, then, on the contrary, such clothing should be worn. What does the clothing of a deceased person have to do with us? It's just clothing that should be worn, not thrown in the trash or polluting the planet, » Filiuk expressed.

Personal experience of the priest

The priest also admitted that he himself wears clothes of his deceased grandfathers.

«Therefore, there is no sin in wearing the clothing of the deceased. Wear it for your health! Do not anger God, hide, dress up, because it is very cold outside, you can freeze, » he concluded.
