Priests

Because that's where they work! I many cases they are also responsible for insuring the safety of the church. They can serve as 'watchman' of the church. And since they often conduct services and pray, it makes sense. The other factor is that the church owns and maintains the house for their clergy, it is built on the same property.

They still live near the churches!

In Europe, bishops belonged to a different class than the village priests. The bishops were usually wealthier and had a much higher position in the church.

all Jewish men are commanded to marry. Including priests

a person who has the authority to lead or preform religious ceremonies

Usually a person who is called the Sacristan.

P on the vestment of priest is R in Greek. On priest's vestments we see XP which are KR in Greek, first two letters of Christos in Greek.

Yes they can if they choose to. Not all priests smoke, but some do and they even drink alcohol. I don't think it should matter if they smoke cigarettes. What we should be worried about is if they doing illegal drugs.

The soil is infertile and no crops will grow. Similarly, the women have trouble conceiving and give birth to stillborn infants. This will lead to the prophecy that someone who has offended the gods is in Thebes.

Such a person is called a scribe.

Yes! of course they did. they were really big in religion.

No priests are allowed to marry. However, it is only in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church that, ordinarily, married men are not ordained, in the other rites we do ordain married men. There are some exceptions in the Latin Rite, we do ordain permanent deacons who are married, and clergymen from other religions, think Episcopal or Anglican, who come into the Church and wish to be ordained, but no, no priests, Ukrainian or otherwise are permitted to marry, they all take a vow of celibacy before ordination.

In the Roman Catholic Church, it is required that a priest be celibate. This is to keep the priest from being distracted from doing God's will as a priest. However, if an Anglican or Orthodox priest who is married converts to Catholicism he is able to become a Catholic priest and keep his wife.

In the Eastern Catholic Church though, the priests are allowed to marry though.

Lutheran and Episcopalian Priests are allowed to marry as well.

No, a Priest can not tell anything to anybody.

The apostles were the first priests and bishops of the Catholic Church.

Priests and pastors often share messages of faith, guidance, and inspiration. They deliver sermons that convey religious teachings and moral values, offering comfort and encouragement to their congregations. Their words serve as a source of spiritual strength and a reminder of the importance of love, compassion, and community. Through their messages, they help individuals navigate life's challenges and find a deeper connection with their beliefs and the divine.

This is quite wrong, for Catholic priests take a vow of celibacy, and there are no advantages for breaking this vow. if this isn't the answer you are looking for, make your question clearer.

In the Catholic Church, Bishops, Archbishops, and Cardinals wear the pinkish red hats called a biretta (pronounced ba-ret-a). The biretta, a 4 cornered hat, has 3 points which refers to The Trinity. See this biretta.

There are no priests in the Baha'i Faith. Such a position is forbidden in Baha'i Sacred Scripture. The Baha'i community is guided by councils of consultation elected by secret ballot at the local, national and international levels.

There are some individuals, appointed to five year terms, who have the role of advising, encouraging and protecting the Baha'i community, but they have no priestly authority or role.

Who was Amoz, a priest

To Kill a Priest was created in 1988.

From a short look in a clothing glossary it appears to be called a "cotta"

Generally, any nurturingly advertent clergy would never refuse to offer a blessing for a beloved pet's cremains.

Many consider a dog as one of God's discreet gifts to humankind. They make no demands other than to be fed. And in return we're granted the gift of unrestrained love, devotion, forgiveness, and protection.

For someone who has lost a beloved pet, any clergyman would certainly recognise the powerful connectivity that would have existed between the pet and master. Accordingly, recognising the immeasurable love that individual would have received from their pet. For this very reason alone, it would justify both spiritually and canonically the blessing of the ashes. This is done in recognition of St Francis of Assisi's love for all animals.

Should the priest possibly be young or inexperienced, a simple blessing may be:

Blessed are You, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless the cremains of this beloved pet who gave so much love, loyalty, and companionship. By the power of Your love, enable these ashes to return to the earth, that they may continue to renew, regenerating to provide even greater miracles of love. We praise You for all Your beauty in creation. Blessed are You, Lord our God, in all Your creations! Amen

Before Christianity came to Britain, the priests of the ancient Briton were of the Druid religion. This was a pagan religion and they offered human sacrifice.
