A Guide to Women’s Headcoverings in the Orthodox Church

    For 2000 years in the Orthodox Church, the tradition has been for women and girls to veil their heads during worship, whether at church

A very interesting article. Although I must say that neither me nor my friends ever wear veils while praying at home. Only when in church. And you can go into a church without a headcovering if you go there unplanned or if you forget it. The (healthy-minded, understanding) priests never say anything bad, and they prohibit other women and men from commenting on other people's clothes and lack of veils.

Wearing a headscarf while praying is great for my sensory issues, its calming, centering, and helps me focus. I feel like the sensory aspect of headcovering/veiling is something that doesn't get talked about as much

Hey guys! Someone asked me how I do my scarves for Mass when I don’t feel like wearing my chapel veil. Hope you enjoy!

As a note, it DOES matter what kind of hair you have/what kind of scarf you’ve using. If the scarf is really silky, it works better if your hair is curly/curled. If your hair is straight/silky like mine, it works better to use a heavier fabric so it doesn’t slip without pins.

Also something I didn’t say in the video, I try to find scarves that are longer than my armspan (about 5′2)

Quick Helpol TransGuy Question

So I know that headcoverings can be used by men, both cis and trans, but I never see anything about it. Knowing this, I'm at a crossroads. There's a specific style of covering called the Tegidion where pretty much everything is covered, including most or even all of my face.

I like it because of the modesty, I really don't like showing off a lot of skin, but I also like it for sensory issues. I hate being stared at and I hate being perceived in much the same way that I wish I wasn't expected to talk when I really just need to have that non-verbal period. If I could just text or not be expected to talk all the time then I wouldn't speak at all. I like that it hides so much which would help with dysphoria but I'm worried it would invalidate my being trans.

I love that veiling in such a manner is used as devotion just as it is used for protection against miasma and agos.

I feel so out of place like I shouldn't want that if I were to transition but like I don't want to be seen as a woman. I'd feel like it would be liberating but also cause some dysphoria.

I know that veiling isn't exclusive to covering oneself. I know that it includes various other magical practices for protection.

Any tips on what to do here would be appreciated.

Much love.

And it seems to be young Catholics driving the trend. “I have definitely noticed an increase of women, especially young adult women, wearing veils,” says Father Roger Landry, 54, Catholic chaplain of Columbia University. He interprets the veiling trend “as an attempt to be maximally reverent to God at Mass and in receiving Holy Communion.”
