Greetings Idomeneas
I believe it was the first ceremony held there in 1700 years, that in itself was reason to 'dress up' and celebrate the reawakening of the ancient Gods and Goddesses and to welcome them home.
Nuns quite often look like women from biblical times and monks wear the habits of the Dark Ages....the Christian priests dress in the ancient style of clothes to honour their God (and also Goddess in the case of Catholics) and so do the choirboys in their gowns, etc....! Many people who attend church wear their best clothes...hence the term for clothes as ...'Sunday best' !

Quote:And lets not talk about philosophy tradition and way of life, those can be followed without any relligious ceremony. So if Christians dont dress up for mass as people of 300 AD why Olympian worshipers should? And why the rest should take it serious?

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
