@Roark___ I mean why have something different than a baptismal gown in such circumstances? The ideal for you Byzantines is for chrismation to occur just after baptism, right?
@shagbark_hick@isaacrrr7 I mean, there are MENA migrations there, as in much of Latin America. Look at M-n-m for example. Or Bukele.
