Guys Tomorrow is The entry of the Theotokos!!!

So married women were able to serve liturgical functions?

No source mentions such thing.

“Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited (צָבָא) at the door of the tabernacle:”

1 Samuel 2:22

The sons of Heli fornicated with the women yet they faced no persecution from the husbands. Maybe because they had none?

And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to {High Priest} Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows. And all holding up their hands towards heaven, made supplication.

2 Macc 3:19-20

“And you virgins who weave byssus and silk, and gold from Ophir, in haste pick it all up and throw it in the fire that it will return it to its Author, and that the flame will take it back to its Creator, from fear that the enemy might seize it” (2 Baruch 10:19).

What do you think about the jewish sources who mention virgins doing so?

“The veil of the Temple was a palm-length in width. It was woven with seventy-two smooth stitches each made of twenty-four threads. The length was of forty cubits and the width of twenty cubits. Eighty-two virgins wove it. Two veils were made each year and three hundred priests were needed to carry it to the pool” (Mishna Shekalim 8, 5-6).

 “the virgins who were weaving threw themselves in the flames” (Pesikta Rabbati 26, 6)

While the roman soldiers were taking the temple.

Why those words are not evidence?
