princessgianna Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Reason #1 If you woke up late and did not have time to style your hair (brushing only made it worse), that little triangle lace hides all hair-do imperfections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princessgianna Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't know! I guess "mantilla" rhymes a little more than "generic female head covering" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yes, it's nice to not worry about my hair. And saves me from being prideful about my hair or distracted by it or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veridicus Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 8) Why wear a white veil at your First Communion and then never again afterward? Is not every Communion worthy of such honor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veridicus Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 10) That which is veiled is holy, e.g., the Tabernacle and the Holy of Holies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Their good to cover dirty hair, but feel romantic when the hair is clean! I love my white mantilla - so sweet. Their good for daily Mass because getting ther at 7am is hard enough without having to worry about hairdos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
