Mid-East Greetings: Kiss on Cheek or Lips? Cultural Insights #shorts

Lesson Transcript

On the question of how was it practiced, the question may have implied, did they kiss on the lips or on the cheek? It's not clear from those quotations. Now, I know from being in the Middle East and being around Middle Easterners, I've seen them greet one another. I've seen men, anyway, greet one another with a kiss, and it's on the cheek. I've never seen two Arab men or men from the Middle East kissing each other on the lips.

I don't think that is practiced at all among them, but they do still greet with a kiss on the cheek, members of the same sex. Join us in earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
