OnlySunshine Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) The first time I veiled was at a daily Mass (N.O. rite) where a few women already veiled so I stood out much less. The first time I wore it around my mom (last Good Friday), it was a little uncomfortable because she asked why I was veiling (she's a product of Vat. 2 controversy). I didn't have a good explanation other than I wanted to, but about a month later, a woman who also veiled in Church asked me what my reason was out of curiosity and at that time I understood St. Paul's message of women veiling in Church. I also thought it beautiful to veil because when the Tabernacle is opened, there is a veil partition. If Jesus is veiled, why shouldn't I be? I'm looking, however, to buy a kerchief wrap from Headcoverings by Devorah or a crocheted cap to wear every Sunday. My aunt, who we attend Church with, is very nosy and picky and although I want to veil, I don't like answering her questions because she gets mad if I can't explain it to suit her.

BarbTherese Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Just ordered a denim scarfe that can be tied right back behind the neck from Headcoverings by Devorah completely on impulse and my first online successful purchase - saw another post from someone who mentioned the site. Haven't worn a veil to Mass in years. The scarfe I ordered has a nice casual look with the tied back effect, since veils here in Australia seem to be non existent, well I certainly have not seen one in many a year - older women sometimes (rare) wear hats. I'm always in denim - stock standard full stop and took sewing lessons so I can make denim outfits myself - cheap, easily laundered and mended, patched, long lasting - except if I am going somewhere that asks something a bit more dressy, then I have clothing for those venues - most all bought secondhand or pre-loved as we call it here. If anyone should ask, which I tend to doubt: "I want to". Barb Edit: Just noticed MaterMisericordiae - it was your post I saw mentioning Headcoverings by Devorah. Thank you for the 'nudge'!

Oh gosh - I'm so excited and scared at the same time, because once i receive it I have to veil! Ahhhhh!!

princessgianna Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have one...I wore it for a year and a half. Right now though I am in limbo. I want to wear it with the right intentions and I was afraid that I was wearing it for the wrong reasons so I stopped. I am sure eventually I will continue though...
