Today I found out that the name Alexandra is found in Linear B, and it’s kind of blowing my mind because that means that name has been in use for at least 4500 years

The name actually appears earliest in its feminine form, Alexandra, as a-re-ka-sa-da-ra before we ever see the masculine variant Alexander! 

It’s also thought that it may have meant “defender FROM men” in addition to “defender of men”. This comes to be used as an alternate name for Kassandra, who may have been worshipped as a protector of unmarried girls and young women from the unwanted attentions of men!

If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?

Go behind them, but not in front. 👍

Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.

Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.

it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.

Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.

Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.

Didn’t know this.
