I'm a Christian too who wants to veil daily. I am currently only able to veil at Mass or when entering churches in general, when I pray or when I read the Bible. I'd like to wear the veil daily though. My parents wouldn't support it so I don't know what to do, please, can you give me some advice? I fully support you and other women regardless of their faith. Veiling is a virtue. ❤

Also a Christian women (re: teen girl) who’s been veiling for three years!! Twins!

@@makotofox1987 how old are you that you need your parents to allow you to cover? My parents don't support it either, but I'm in my mid-30s, so that's their issue, not mine. I cover for God, not for people! ;) (I'm Christian too) If you are a teenager, I suggest having a conversation about your reasons to cover with them and then go from there. Your parents may just be worried about you. Maybe you can compromise on "half-wraps" for now (as in covering the head, but leaving your hair out in the back). If you're older you should listen to God's convictions. He puts them on our hearts because He wants us to follow Him.

​@Julia I'm still in secondary and I'm a veiling Christian 😊

@chatabethanycricketbug hello, may I ask where you get the headcover in your picture? It's beautiful! And thanks for sharing your comment, I am a Christian woman as well who chose to cover full time over the past year. It's been very life changing. I usually use a triangular scarf like a bandana style but would like to do more of the veil or hijab style as I gain more courage. Either way great to hear of other Christian woman that are swimming against the tide of the what we understand as Christian culture for what God's word says. 🙏

As a Muslim I'm proud of you, thank you for both respecting our religion and treating yours seriously. Modern society often shows women as scandalous and implies that women must show their body to be loved but that is a lie. Modesty is the key to paradise ❤❤

Hey I have a question about it- is veiling something you do every day or just in church?

@_gabgie_ So the biblical study I have done seems to say that it's only necessary in church or religious gatherings. Some people choose to do it all the time. I'm somewhere in the middle. I always do it in church and religious settings. I often do it studying and praying on my own as well. I also sometimes do it in public just because I like it so much and love the way it makes me feel. It changes my mindset and the way I am in my relationship with God, my husband, and as a mom. Someday, I might do it all the time, but it's a process to adjust to because I live in America and it's not seen as normal. I'm slowly becoming more and more comfortable doing it in no religious settings.

@maquillaje por LaGuerita so I don't wear a hijab, because I want to respect the Islamic faith and although I do dress modesty compared to American standards, I don't follow Islamic dress and don't want people to see me wearing a hijab and get the wrong idea based on my outfit. That being said, if i was wearing the right outfit, i wouldn't be opposed to trying one. It all depends. Sometimes I wear just a headpiece that covers my head but not all my hair. Other times, I wrap a scarf around my head and drape it on my shoulders like a more traditional headcovering. I'm doing that one more and more as I get comfortable doing it in public. And like I said, I don't always wear them everywhere I go, but I am staring to more and more. It's been an adjustment to try different types and get comfortable around people. Many Christians have a negative view of headcovering eventhough its in their book. It was hard at first, not because I didn't want to, but because I was worried people would react to it. I love it and have started doing it most of the time to some degree in public and even around the house sometimes. It changes my mental and emotional state and how I see the world and my relationship to people and to God. It's seems strange that something so small would make such a difference, but it really is a constant reminder of why you are doing it and keeps your beliefs at the front of your mind in every situation.

@maquillaje por LaGuerita I do understand that. I guess I meant I don't wear it the same style that Muslim women wear them right now. I do wear headscaves sometimes, I just wear them in different styles. I come from an area with a lot of Muslim people, and they are just about the only people who practice headcovering where i am specifically. This is all new to me, and I'm learning a lot. I don't come from a headcovering tradition and am trying to figure it all out as I go. I am just trying to be respectful to different people while figuring it all out. I'm sure this will all be easier one day. It's been less than a year since I started.

@Makeup by LaGuerita I'm Eastern Orthodox and I wear a hijab, both in church and out. I "grew up" spiritually in Old Calendar Orthodoxy, which stresses modesty in dress for both men and women. I also visited St. Xenia Skete and St. Herman of Alaska Monastery in Caifornia for Church services, where ladies wore modest, long dresses and hijab/headscarf, so began dressing that way most of the time. And you're right about Lutherans. My grandmother aways wore a scarf, mantilla, or hat to church. She was from a strict Observance Missouri Synod Parish. I think the greatest harm happened to headcovering post Vatican II because the Catholic Church no longer required hats or scarves for ladies, and women in other churches got the idea that to go to church bareheaded was OK. Thanks God, headcovering seems to be making a comeback. Ahamdullilah! Glory to God for all things!

Hi! Its your choise,Im not saying its not important but not wearing a veil doesnt means that you dont have salvation:)

@@laraerdelyi4299 yea uh I feel uncomfortable showing my hair ngl

Congratulations sister I hope the creator makes this an eye opening, heart calming, journey for you. May he make it easy and keep you protected and steadfast! Our faith encourages us to make mistakes and keep learning! It's all about intentions!

Do you veil your face as well? A year or so ago I was led to veil my hair and then it turned into me covering everything. But not at home or when I went to church. I only covered my hair then. But if I went anywhere without my husband Inwood cover everything. That's just what I felt led to do. And then I just stopped. I miss it, but I'm struggling with doing it again. Like I just can't bring myself to even though I want to

Thank you!

hello💕 We broke the ten commandments(lied, stolen, hated.. etc) and Jesus paid the fine for us, saving us, so no good works can save us from hell but Gods grace on the cross. All religions do good works to save them but Christians only do good works because God saved, in love and obedience to Him, so its a beautfiul work Jesus done! 💕 "Religion is mans attempt to get to God & Christianity is the Father's attempt to get to His creation" repent of your sins and trust Jesus🤍the finished work He done on the cross

Hello, thanks for your comment. I am also a Christian women who covers full time, dresses and skirts, not hijab but like a bandana scarf, though someday would like to do more veiling in public. Do you live in the west? Very curious what your experience is like out in public/what kind of reactions you have had, as I've wondered similar about covering 'more' than just the bandana in the future. I've read Tertullian's comments about face veils for women in the church/Public and and been somewhat convicted from that or it's a seed planted that is. I can only imagine how other Christians/other people would perceive me in this country if I went that far (including my family) but you have mentioned here you have done this already so I was curious if you had any insight or advice for someone considering more 'radical' modesty someday. Lord willing. God bless

Well, for a start, the Bible does not require women to wear a face veil, nor does it forbid them to do so, so I don’t see a problem there. I am Eastern Christian and a nun in Great Schema and tend toward reclusion and wear the face veil both for modesty and to maintain purdah (seclusion). I haven’t had any real problems wearing it outside, but I live in an area where people are pretty used to seeing Muslimahs who wear hijab and Christian women who wear a headcovering. If people ask, I tell them I am a nun and veil fully both for modesty and to keep my thoughts on God. I also wear a cross with my niqab which marks me as a Christian. I would advise that you think and pray about it to see if this is what God has called you do-the fact that you feel somewhat convicted to wear a face veil suggests to me that this is the case. If so, I would try it on in private to accustom yourself to wearing it. Then, begin wearing it when you go out. I would also advise that you get a niqab in a breathable fabric like chiffon-a good source for this sort is Sunnah Stye which sells niqabs that conceal the face but don’t interfere with breathing. I wear a black one-layer pull-down style with a niqab flap (this allows me to cover more fully), but there are other styles and colours available. I hope this helps.

I absolutely love that pagans at all, especially who veil are getting more recognition! We can ALL appreciate modesty!

@@blueismylove3128 Absolutely! I support all women who love modesty regardless of faith.

I vail at church and during fasting. This use to be a more common Christian practice. I'm sure you already know all three abrahamic religions have text about some form of vailing but each has taken the meaning in different ways. I know Mary is always seen in modest clothes and with a vail over her head in almost every painting and carving, it might not be a full hair cover but it is the block between the head and God. That was part of my conviction to return to this along with the Orthodox churches still wearing them in other parts of the world. I hope you figure it all out 💖 I think its so beautiful and I think Muslim, Jewish and Christian women are all sisters and I just love the thought of us all supporting each other

Keep it up. I'm a black women also. I keep having a desire to cover my hair. I decided to wear it anytime I leave the house. Best decision I've made in my 43 years of living. I feel closer to the Lord, make better decisions, and have more confidence while covered. Unfortunately a well respected elder women of my church approach me during church and told me that I don't need to wear that thing on my head. It hurt me because she's friends with my mother and I have given nothing but love to this women over the years.

I’m so happy for you! You deserve to be unapologetically yourself! I also like to remind myself that you will never be criticised by someone who is doing more than you 😉

Go for it! 💪 trust your instincts, people can stay mad! Remember you will never be criticised by someone who is doing more than you 😉

You certainly say that because you don’t know the Bible and the Christian traditions. Veil is a Jewish/ Christian tradition before there was Islam.

@@marianargazevedo ...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her... In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;... -Young's Literal Translation (YLT) A woman's long hair is the 'covering'.

Yes, in 1 Corinthians 11:1-15
