Tonsure

Tonsure is the act of cutting the hair or shaving the head.

During Paul's "Third Missionary Journey," he completed tonsure in fulfillment of a vow. (Acts 18:18)

Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow. (Acts 18:18, NASB)
