Quote:The Greek East always favored beards.
Not always. During the 4th century for instance, the emperor Julian (The Apostate) wore a beard to resembled a (non-Christian) philisopher. The fashion at that time was clean-shaven, which ia also seen in Christian art: earlier depictions of Christ show him clean-shaven.
