Acceptable Head Covering at Mass

[Basilisa Marie]

This is only sort of related but I thought I'd share because it's a "yay veiling" thread. 

I don't veil myself, but I don't have any problem with women who decide to. I work at a fairly "modern" parish so when I can I like to go to Mass at the more traditional parish down the street on Saturday nights. A fair amount of women there veil, but it's by no means "highly encouraged" by the parish's culture, if you know what I mean. Since it's stewardship season for us, this parish had one of their members get up and give a witness talk. She was a young mom wearing a black lacy veil. She talked about her struggles in her own faith, dealing with her sister's murder, her husband and community playing an instrumental role in her reversion, how her community supported her in her miscarriage, and how giving back to the community is something we all need to do. 

It was one of the most Catholicly feminist things I've ever seen, and in no small part because she did it while wearing her veil.

Choosing the right veil can be tricky for some.  I say go big or go home.
