Almsgiving
Giving to the poor as a quiet act of devotion, done with the right hand hidden from the left
Almsgiving is the disciplined giving of money or goods to those in need as an act of piety, often joined to prayer and fasting. Early texts such as the Didache and the teaching of Matthew 6 commend it, with Jesus urging that it be done humbly rather than for display. Practiced across all Christian communions, it varies in emphasis and organization but remains a basic expression of charity and faith.
