Orthodox priests wear beards as a symbol of their commitment to their faith and adherence to traditional Christian practices. The beard represents humility, masculinity, and the biblical injunction to avoid vanity. Additionally, it reflects the Old Testament customs and the lifestyle of the early Christian Church, reinforcing the priest's role as a spiritual leader. The practice varies among different Orthodox jurisdictions, but it remains a respected tradition.
