Archaeology cat Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 [quote name='HisChild' date='30 January 2010 - 10:42 PM' timestamp='1264891339' post='2047923'] How do you veil? Many Roman Catholic women use lace mantillas, but I've seen many Byzantine Catholics use either a scarf and tie under the chin, or behind the hairline at the back of the neck, or like a jewish tichel. Do you use creative ways to tie your scarf or use one way in general? [/quote] I either wear a mantilla, or a headscarf. With the headscarf, I either wrap it around a bun, or cross it in front under my chin and have the ends hanging down in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessgianna Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Another option for the stly'n personilty. [img]http://www.stilettosetsports.com/wp-content/uploads/beigh-satin-church-hat.jpg[/img] I love to wear hats too. EDIT: though they are not as humble as the mantilla and tend to be more expensive but hey a girl can dream right>?

DiscerningSoul Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Today another woman wore a hat at Mass, I thanked her for doing so. I prayed for all of you who are nervous about veiling. Many more prayers to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 My first time felt like I should've been doing it for years. It felt right. I wish I had started a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Today after Mass a lady wearing a mantilla came up to me and said that she's worn her mantilla since she was young, but can't seem to find them now. She was wondering if I went to Spain to get mine, but I explained that a friend gave it to me, and I don't know where she got it, as she travels quite a bit. The lady just commented that you don't see people wearing them much now, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend saw some mantillas at a vintage store once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InPersonaChriste Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hmm.. I started at ten so I really dont remember my first time. But I do remember being slightly embarrassed when I am the only veiled young woman in youth group or in a less-traditional church. I have been asked many times why I wear it.

JenDeMaria Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 [quote name='brightsadness' timestamp='1264884275' post='2047848'] 10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels. When I was 12 and the priest asked me why I was covering. I answered "because of the angels." because that was what was given me to say. Every time I veil the grace is with me.and I rremember. [/quote] This is officially my new favorite answer to "Why do you wear a veil?". Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studiumecclesiae Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have a nice mantilla, and I get different colour according to liturgical time. Time of penance - black. Time of joy like Easter - white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have like 6, and I wont leave any at home because I have an attachment to all of them...

Immanuel Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I love my chapel veil. I've been wearing it for a couple of years. Really, I thought it would set off a flurry of other women veiling but were too afraid to be "first". The strange thing is (to me) that no one really took my lead. I'm still the only one veiling. No one has ever asked anything about it so I just do my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briananne Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 JMJT I just started wearing my white veil about a year and a half ago. When I first started wearing it I did not feel weird because almost everyone where I go to Mass wears a veil. (I attend Latin Mass with FSSP) I've come to realize that wearing a veil really helps me to foster the union with our Lord during Mass that He wants us to have with Him. I can stay focused without worrying about having any attention on me and have my complete attention on the Mass or other prayers. This is a reminder to us to remain in union with our Lord doing everything through Him, with Him, and in Him. Wearing the veil has definitely helped me to understand the deeper meaning of these words. Praised be Jesus Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
