Previously, the life of a woman was limited to the so-called three "k": Kinder, Kirche, Kü chen, which means children, kitchen and church. And usually the last acted out one of the important roles. A modern woman is a holy believer, surrounded by many temptations, duties, rights, and at the same time observance of religious rules, and sincere service to her faith.
There are many questions that she is a modern Orthodox woman? What does she live, can she go to work, and if so, where to work for an Orthodox woman? How does she look in ordinary life, whether she wears a handkerchief, or allows herself a make-up and a hairstyle, and how to recognize in the crowd this very real Orthodox woman?
Female.
Unfortunately, in the modern world, most Orthodox women remain in the shadows. Their merits are not marked by awards, they are not written about by tabloids, they do not take off the reality of the show. And probably because of such modesty and the desire to remain in the shadow, the image of an Orthodox woman, remains for the majority a mystery and is usually enveloped in prejudices and myths. In fact, these women are no different from ordinary women. Unless they are more restrained in behavior, truly believe, and reinforce their faith by observing church rules. They are usually the same as all women want to be beautiful, but they are more attracted by spiritual beauty than bodily, because you rarely see such a woman evoking clothing or bright make-up, but does not mean that she will be poorly dressed or not well-groomed . Among Orthodox women you can often see very attractive women, in fashionable and stylish clothes, on which young girls should be leveled.
Usually, a modern Orthodox woman can successfully combine her both spiritual and professional development, not to the detriment of herself, her faith and her family.
What a modern Orthodox woman? It is the same as all, it is just preserved in it, something bright and unshakable, called people - by faith. And the rest of the woman will always remain a woman, and nothing can change it.
Religion and work.
Only life, or still not focus on home and family, and go to work? Often such questions make one think not only Orthodox women. But according to religious rules, an Orthodox woman should devote herself to the family home and her faith. But for modern women there are many other factors that often make them go to daily work to earn money. The same affects the tastes of modern men. They usually want to see a fully developed woman who is interesting in communication and with a great desire to develop her personality and achieve professional success.
For an Orthodox woman, from the view of the church, work is permissible, but if it prevents a woman from fulfilling her household chores, to exercise her maternal and family functions, then such activities are a dangerous matter for the stability of the family. Similarly, according to church visions, the overall cultural, social, political equality of women and men is positively considered, but Orthodox women are simply obliged to make a choice: to devote oneself to the family, or to try to break between home and work, and having time to perform all the necessary functions. What often makes life difficult. In other words, the work is clearly not opposed to the house.
In the modern world, an orthodox woman tries to combine a woman's vocation and caring for the house and family with creative and interesting work. However, there are many examples of who to navigate. As it turns out, many celebrities also combine their activities and Orthodox beliefs, and with the help of their fame try to attract young people, give them a real idea of religion, and clearly divide the notion of sincere faith and fanaticism.
The work of an orthodox woman outside the home is not at all a consequence of the desire for "gender equality", and they perceive their professional employment as one permissible form of awareness of themselves as a Christian woman. However, the picture is not so joyful, in Orthodox families. Very often, conflicts that provoked women to work related to the exit, conflicts between "life" and "not life" that can not be discounted are very common. That is why often false stereotypes develop, when to save the world in the family, a woman must stay at home. But many women even feel comfortable with this situation. And if all is well, then there is hardly a need to talk about restricting rights and freedom.
Who to work with?
Usually if an Orthodox woman still decides to go to work, what specialty should she choose? Usually, women choose work directly related to helping people. These can be social services, teaching, medicine, psychology, volunteering, sewing, cooking and so on. A woman by nature is created to help, give her warmth and care to others, whether it's a family, or just a little familiar people. Yes, and this work does not contradict church requirements and customs. Similarly, an Orthodox woman can receive her office at the church, or church organizations, to manage charity.
Usually, an important role is played by the possibility of combining their work and home. After all, the house and family play a more predominant role for the Orthodox woman than professional dews.
It is necessary to understand the clear difference between a believer and a fanatical person. Believers women do not differ from those who do not believe, in addition to the faith itself. Fans usually stand out in the crowd, more intrusive and often mislead the rest, while themselves, being in this state.
