Editing Antoinism (section)

===Religious clothing and symbols===
Wearing Antoinist [[religious clothing]] indicates an intense involvement in the religion by the person who makes this choice. Although not mandatory, it is devoted to faithful who perform the worship, celebrations and other tasks in the temple—all of them are called "moral work", as they are expected to participate in the moral elevation of followers.<ref name="B0812">[[#Begot3|Bégot, 2008]], p. 12.</ref> It was in 1906 that Antoine wore special clothes for the first time, and it was the case of the faithful in 1910.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 240.</ref> Entirely black, the dress for men was designed by Antoine, and that for women by Catherine, who precisely codified their dimensions in their writings. There are also dresses for young people of both sexes, but they are never actually worn. Historically, the wearing of the dress was the subject of a debate among the first Antoinists, some of them refusing to wear it,<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 97.</ref> and even generated a scandal so that Antoine had to justify himself on this subject, saying it had been revealed by inspiration.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], pp. 245–50.</ref> In the past, the dress was also worn in the street, and that was how the followers were immediately identified by the public.<ref>[[#Vivier|Vivier, 1989]], p. 330.</ref> Currently, it is generally only worn in the context of worship, and it is put and removed in the locker room of the temple. Clothing for men is composed of a dress which resembles the one worn by Catholic clergy in the monastery, and closed by 13 buttons, plus a cashmere top hat. Clothing for women is a wide dress accompanied with a cape and a [[Bonnet (headgear)|bonnet]] with a veil. In the Antoinist view, the [[Collar (clothing)|collar]] is important as it is believed that the fluid resides here.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], pp. 98,99.</ref>

The only emblem of Antoinism is the tree of science of the sight of evil that features on the facade of the highest platform in the temple. It has seven branches which represent the [[seven deadly sins]] (although sin is rejected in the religion), two eyes which symbolize the view of the sins, and the tree roots which are the symbol of the intelligence which links man to matter. In the branches the mention "Culte Antoiniste" ("Antoinist worship") is written.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 87.</ref>
