I've been drawn towards covering since I was a young teen, but I've only begun three days ago. Right now I'm wearing it at church and at home and (this is embarrassing) out in public when I don't think I'll see people I know. Yeah, I'm one of those. I've been ridiculed and criticized for years (especially recently) by those closest to me about all the various oddities in my life, and I'm dreading their reaction. Your post has pushed me this much closer to taking a leap of faith and covering full-time. My husband approves and is excited, but he does not want to push me. Thanks again! Looking forward to perusing some more of the articles/sources you referenced. As so many have stated before me, this post has been such an encouragement!

I cannot say enough good things about wearing a headcovering, ladies. I've worn one at Mass for quite some time now, and other women and girls in the parish have "picked up" on the idea as well. I know I was pleasantly surprised at how positive the reactions were (all glory and praise to the Lord!) Yet, the idea of wearing a covering in our home had never occurred to me . . . I am looking forward to finding out what my husband's thoughts are. On this topic . . . if anyone needs a chapel veil, I purchased mine from Immaculate Heart Mantillas. http://www.lffa-ollmpc.com/ihm/index.html (I am not at all affiliated with that site, but did have an excellent experience with Susan, who made my veil and sent it to me.) What a thought-provoking piece – thank you, Mrs. Parunak!

I'm a Muslim convert who is deciding to cover my head for God but for the silliest of reasons (peoples reactions) I'm scared. Why must it be so contriversial? I'm most nervous about my family. They are not religious at all so this will be hard for them. I've been meeting many women who've gone through the same thing and their stories are courageous. A funny word to use for just covering your head but to go out into the world and doing something out of the norm does take courage. Thanks for the extra courage you've given me! Thanks for the story.

Thanks for sharing your testimony. I'm glad you have a supporting, Christian husband. That also along with the 1 Thessalonians verse you mentioned are what convicted me to cover.

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head" (1 Cornithians 11:5). The only reading that makes sense to me is that we're supposed to cover our heads when we pray. People make cultural (and other) arguments against that position, but these seem dangerous to me. As for your prayers being hindered in some way by NOT covering your head when you pray, this isn't what the passage teaches. It says that a woman who prays uncovered is dishonoring her head. That is the danger. The hindrance is no more or less than the hindrance caused by any disobedience. Our prayers are hindered any time we are out of line with what God wants for us, whether it's lying, coveting, gossiping, or dishonoring our heads through failure to cover when we pray. Ashlee,

Thanks for your comment!

The angels like to see us covered because they know we are obaying God. I'm still trying to talk my family into letting me cover fully but there pretty racist. However in church I do cover with a scarf like a hijab. Don't care what they think I'm comphy in it. I'm catholic and have been told not to by sisters but the priest said that it was fine. it’s in corinthians 1:11 Gods asks us to cover when we pray.

I just read this article, but didn't have time to read through all of the comments which might answer my question. I've never heard about women wearing head coverings now a days, and am quite curious. Do I really have to have my head covered to pray? I never cover my head now, does that somehow hinder my prayers. I'm very curious about this. Thanks for any advice, clarification you could give. Hi again.

So I keep praying and I now wear an alice band of various widths everyday, as my pledgee to God that I will cover my head. It's not great but it's a personla testimony to myself that I know it's right to cover. love and prayers miranda Hi I had posted a blog a while ago, I was trying to cover full time, but got so much flack of my husband and my mum, that now I only cover when I’m at church. they said I looked asian, we live in england, my husband was in the army.
