  well i will agree if their clothes are disgraceful or inapropriate but if they are appropriate and just a little dressy, (since it is easter) people would like to celebrate that day and just get dressed up. however, you go to church to thank God and Pray and feel blessed not to get dressed up and put on makeup and stuff, so if it will effect the people that wear those clothes and distracts them from praying at church or paying attention then they shouldn't wear it. But if it won't distract them and they just wear the appropriate dressy clothes as a way to celebrate then i don't think it is wrong.

  Sorry I haven't been aware of this thread before, those were wonderful posts Abba Mina, egyptionorthobeaut and nene0587, I know a lot of people that there parents pick out their clothes for them, instead of them picking out their own clothes, it's a simple matter of trying to persuade or influence your parents to buy more sufficient and appropriate clothes, hey I know what I would like for the eid, and sometimes my parents know the exact thing for me, I tell them what things a mature and appropriate lady would wear, not short shorts or sleeveless shirts, or even tight pants, no way, that is just too showy, if your unaware of your clothes look again, do you think this will be appropriate, hey our priest stopped a child and told her to cover herself, because she was wearing a sleeveless shirt, that's why you should keep asking yourself do I think this will be appropriate for such event!

  but here in asutralia...its not a nmatter of disrespectful clothing or not...it is a matter of A FASHION PARADE..imma not saying i dont care what i wear on that noght casue i do ...and i do get dressy n stuff...
  
  but the problem with me is the paying attention casu eiam too busy to see what other epople are wearing...

  I concur. Also people (mostly women) sit there and critique others' clothes and flip out if someone else is wearing the same outfit as they are. What's the point?

  its almost that time again, Easter. I feel that everytime I go to Church on Easter, I see all these new people and it kind of feels like a Fashion Show. What is up with that. I know its an excuse to buy new clothes, but seriously keep some of those clothes out of church. Does anyone agree or disagree.
  
  
  LOOOOL..wowzers, you are absolutely correct..buutt, I do the same thing just because you FEEL like it's Resurrection when you're all dressed up in new stuff..just a way to celebrate..same concept as dressing up for a wedding..But yes, people do use it in the wrong ways..

  I don't think Bishoy is slow, I just think he was trying to be funny. Key word here is trying....
  
  Run that joke by God he'll show you how funny it is.

  I didn't get to read all of your posts, but I will try to respond. I think that we try to celebrate. In a way, it's like God is coming and we want to look our best. Maybe that means for some poeple getting dressed up A LOT! and for some people just a new simple outfit. Whatever it is, people just want to look good. It might be one of those welcome god things, but in a totally different way in everybody's sense. It really, I think, is just a way to welcome God. It's like if a president was coming, you wouldn't look bad. Lol. Well, that may be how it is. I'm just saying. I don't know if I answered your question, but that's what I think.

  Thanks for your concern habibi... but I did run that joke by God... I think God thought it was funny... unlike some people... I know that God is a gentle loving God... and not an angry wrathful... always killing... and hurting God! So again thanks for the great concern... I will continue laughing with God... in love happiness and joy... unlike some people... I won’t hold tight... and just have fear...
