"Early Christians kissed one another in very specific settings that distinguished them from the non-Christian community," Michael Penn's book Kissing Christians. At the end of I Thessalonians, the first Christian mention of the ritual kiss is found: "Greet one another with a holy kiss." "Kiss of peace" was used during prayer, Eucharist, ordination, and other areas connected with greetings, funerals, monastic vows, and martyrdom.
