I agree with your assessment. Luxmoore didn’t want the reader to garner a positive impression of this Orthodox Church social gathering, rather that it was backward and oppressive.

The author is not Orthodox. Most likely he is referring to Vespers which is celebrated on Saturdays and the evening before any day where the Divine Liturgy is to be served.

I was thinking the same. I’m just amazed at how many “journalists” know so very little about what they are reporting.

several decades ago in the Catholic church girls and women were required to wear something on their heads...a hat, often a small lacy doily would do

That honorable tradition still thrives in the Latin Mass community. May it increase, and may the post-conciliar madness decrease.
