* A
leather belt that a
monk fastens round his waist when he lives in solitude.
A
monk wears such a belt following the recite of special prayers. * A
monk that wears the "Iskeem" is ought to present exceeding prayers,
fastings, and kneelings than an ordinary
monk.
It is a leather belt of crosses which is worn by a monk who has reached a very high level of spirituality. This belt symbolises spiritual responsibility and struggle, as well as self control over bodily needs and desires. The 'eskeem' may also be the monastic habit.
