LOL, that's bad news for me.

I have a goatee... doesn't look like I'm very Holy, lol.

No

Nowhere. I had a beard once. Oddly enough, it did not make me any more holy.

Maybe you weren't wearing it right...?

(ZZ Top must be really holy, then! )

I must be unholy. Smooth as a baby's behind.

Somewhere between "A Little Holy" and "Pretty Holy".

Just a goatee for the moment, but the weather has finally turned enough to start growing the full beard again. So I’ll be “a little holy” shortly.

What makes one beard more holy than another?

I would think the holiest beard is the one Jesus had if the length really matters to God.

(He's being silly because there were some beard-related laws in the Old Testament.)

Obviously those beard length rules disappeared centuries later because they did not match the beard that Jesus is always pictured to have.

Cameras, back then, made beards look shorter...

C'mon, man, you know back then they only had paintings and drawings.

I'm looking at the last line and wondering how long the Theotokos' beard was.

It's pretty long. She collected all the hair from brushing Christ's hair as He was growing up, and wove it into an awesome beard. I don't think she ever wore it though.

Not fair, I was going to share it in my Orthodox memes thread.
