What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Did Jesus cover his head while praying?"
Answer
The provided documents contain no explicit statement about whether Jesus wore a head covering while praying. However, it is described that He often prayed outdoors, such as on the Mount of Olives, kneeling and exposed to the elements. A quotation specifically mentions that the dew and the night frost fell upon His head bowed in prayer.
Jesus in Prayer on the Mount of Olives
»He often left the bustling city and the noisy crowd to seek a secluded place for prayer. The Mount of Olives was the Son of God's preferred refuge for His devotion. ... While the city was wrapped in silence and the disciples had returned to their homes to rest in sleep, Jesus did not sleep. ... Throughout the night, while His followers slept, their divine Teacher prayed. The dew and the night frost fell upon His head bowed in prayer.«
The Posture of Christ in Prayer
»Think of Christ, revered by angels, in the posture of a supplicant. He was a mighty prayerful one who begged fresh gifts of grace from the Father's hands and went forth strengthened and refreshed to convey His lessons of confidence and hope. Look at His kneeling figure as He pours out His heart before the Father in the moonlit hours. See the angels who watch the earnest prayerful one.«
