dominicansoul Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 where exactly in Holy Scripture are the verses pertaining to women covering their heads to show reverence to God?
Resurrexi Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 "1 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. 7 The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. 9 For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. 10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels. 11 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God. 13 You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering." (1 Corinthians 11)
brightsadness Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 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.
Tridenteen Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 JMJ Despite all the stuff from Saint Paul, who don't get me wrong, I really like....I just love veiling! I mean, yes I veil out of modesty, respect, etc. But as I was at Church this morning, I watched the ladies going to Communion as I waited to leave the pew. It really is amazing, and just as I am consistently amazed everytime I attend Mass, amazed at the holiness and reverence of the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful, I am amazed at the thought that since the beginning of the Church, women have veiled themselves suprememly out of love of God. God willing, I will veil myself in three years as a novice; and even the Church veils Herself in the folds of the Liturgy. The Tabernacle, which holds Jesus Christ Son of God, is veiled during Mass. And I want to be a Tabernacle as well, theoretically speaking. Sorry for rambling....

[/quote] 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?

Most of them are Pakistani, a few are't though. When they wear scarfs they either tie them in the front or cross the ties under the chin and ie it in the back...that is relly the more likely to stay on way.

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.
princessgianna Posted January 31, 2010 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>? Edited January 31, 2010 by princessgianna
DiscerningSoul Posted January 31, 2010 Author 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.
FutureSister2009 Posted April 18, 2011 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.
Archaeology cat Posted April 19, 2011 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.

My friend saw some mantillas at a vintage store once...
InPersonaChriste Posted April 20, 2011 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.
InPersonaChriste Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Oh I love snoods.. I might go into full head covering :D
JessicaKoch Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 For Lent I am wearing a veil 24/7 thats how I started wearing veils in Mass by doing it for Lent, but now its more then that its a constint reminder of Mary!
