Since the early days of Christianity, wearing chapel veils has been a common practice among faithful women. Chapel veils had been a part of the Catholic identity. Catholic brides traditionally wear a veil while marching down the aisle. While traditional church attire often includes a lace mantilla.

As the Bible tells us, Jesus was 100% man and 100% God. The human body of Jesus is symbolized by a veil that hid the deity in him. Women were supposed to cover or their heads in worship. This was a sign of humility and a depiction of the relationship between Christ and his church.

We consider the use of the veil not only a visible act of modesty and humility. But also as a sign of reverence and surrender to God’s will. As we continue our spiritual journeys, let us be open to traditions that inspire and uplift us, all while remaining respectful and understanding of the diverse practices within our faith. May the chapel veil be a symbol of unity, devotion, and faith as we journey together in the love of Christ.
