Q&A Home > U > Ululation

• People often do zhagroota [ululation] at baptisms, weddings, deacon ordinations, and other joyous occasions at church. My questions are: 1.What is the proper outlook on zhagareet inside church? Is it categorized as a sin, iniquity, transgression, simply inappropriate, normally appropriate, or something else? 2. I have never personally celebrated a Divine Liturgy in Kenya but I have seen videos of people zhagarooting during the Liturgy. Does this indicate that zhagroota may be appropriate relative to one's culture? 3. I have found some websites online that indicate that the Holy Synod issued a statement regarding the use of zhagroota inside the church in November 2012. I am unable to find any minutes or results from this synod online. Would it be possible to share what the synods stance was if it were discussed?
