Why Women Wear Mantillas In Church

Chapel veils, or mantillas (which comes from the word manta, meaning cape) are typically circular or triangular shaped pieces of black or white lace that are draped over a woman’s head when attending Mass, or in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Traditionally, the black veils were worn by married or widowed women, while the white veils were worn by young girls, or unmarried women, but there are no hard and fast rules about this.

“Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.” (1 Corinthians 11:10)

St. Paul reminds us that as Christ did the will, and sought the honour of God the Father, so the Christian should avow his subjection to Christ, doing His will and seeking His glory. We should seek a fitting demeanour in our dress and habit, avoiding everything that may be dishonourable before the Throne of God. By covering her head with a veil (or mantilla) the woman is agreeing to her beautiful and unique feminine status. She is showing respect and reverence for the holy angels too, always invisibly present before the Blessed Sacrament, who will come to her side in love and protection. This veiling of the woman before the Lord Our God, may also be a humble imitation of the angels’ behaviour, who when they sang the praises of God, and adored and glorified his perfections, covered their faces and their feet with their wings. (Isaiah 6:2)

From the very earliest days of Christianity, wearing chapel veils as head coverings when entering a Church to pray and adore God, was a common practice among faithful women. Since the Second Vatican Council this practice has no longer been requisite for women attending the Novus Ordo Mass, yet contrary to what many believe, it is still very much supported and encouraged by the Church. Many Catholic women of all ages are now rediscovering this beautiful, age-old tradition. At Latin Masses, and in particular at the celebration of the Tridentine Mass, generally all the women in the congregation can be seen with their heads veiled as a sign of reverence, modesty and piety in their recognition that they are praying in the Sacramental Presence of God.

This act of partially concealing a woman’s physical beauty (especially her lovely hair) is so that the beauty of God may be glorified instead. A veil is both a symbol and a mystical sacrifice that invites the woman wearing it to ascend the ladder of sanctity. It is also a way of emulating the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her humility, purity and submissiveness.

Moreover, the mantilla, or chapel veil, signifies the role of women as a life-bearing vessel. The chalice holding the blood of Christ is veiled until the Preparation of the Gifts, and the tabernacle veiled between Masses. Both of these vessels hold the Eucharist – the very life of Christ. In a similar fashion, woman was endowed with the gift of bearing human life.

“This is why the female body should be veiled, because everything which is sacred calls for veiling. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he veiled his face. Why did he veil his face? Because he had spoken to God, and at that very moment there was a sacredness that called for veiling. Now… feminists after Vatican II suddenly discovered that when women go to Church veiled, it is a sign of their inferiority. The man takes off his hat and woman puts on a veil. My goodness, how they have lost the sense of the supernatural! Veiling indicates sacredness and it is a special privilege of the woman that she enters church veiled.” Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand

But all that's in a CHURCH. Islam makes you cover up just walking around in public, which Christianity never did. I don't think their women HAVE to go to the mosque (although probably a lot do) but I think the main religious practices in public are for men. At any rate, Western women have never HAD to be veiled in public, except as a fashion just for the head, NEVER the face.

This ^^^ you women wanted equality. Well then, defend yourselves. I couldn't care less about the women in the USA. You brought this on yourselves. Good luck.

Hopefully no one makes thousands of bumper stickers with this saying on it, and sticks them onto peoples' cars at malls or other places.

hard trolling of the left... pretend to be muslim and talk shit about women around feminists.

Thank you, love

Flippin' hysterical!

in the west, the majority of the criminal code and civil code was developed directly from a the Biblical / Levitical laws, and a Biblical world view

that's why the lefties push so hard to get the moral code type laws repealed, relaxed, or unenforced / unenforceable

yet the law are kept on the books for "serious circumstances"
eg.
the sodomy and buggery laws,
the adultery and fornication laws,
are still on the books in most jurisdictions
however, due to the current societal climate they are unenforced and are unenforceable in most situations
because no prosecutor and or judge will hear those charges

yet they will hound you to death for an unpaid parking ticket

What do you mean "wanted equality". Is there something wrong with JUST equality? What I have something against is that it's "accepted" that society speaks bad about White men in particular (though there's plenty of that against White women as well) and that there are laws that give White women an advantage over White men- along with minorities- in hiring practices. Also, the 1960s "feminist" movement cut wages for men and made it difficult for the family unit to function- which was obviously the subversive goal. As for the late 1800s-early 1900s movement, I am thankful for it- giving women the right to vote, own land on their own, and other- what I see as- human rights things. Until the 1970s-1980s- most women used their vote along with their husband to do what they saw as right for their family circumstances. Maybe some more tweaking of laws would have been fine in the 1970s with women approaching things in a Constitutional manner- but it was mixed with virulent man hating and sexual immorality- burning bras and all that nonsense. It was run by the CIA using subversives, obviously.

Someone got triggered. This is no crime, its just someone's opinion....

If we're gonna start arresting people for their opinions...you'd have been in jail a long time ago...stupid.

Just wear a bandana and try for the biker look, lol. No mistaking then

Remember that 80 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot,,, including this one

This is a fear mongering and hate mongering campaign instigated by people who are out to make Islamism look bad. No Muslim is gonna do this cause they know it does not benefit them. But some will come and call me out as a Muslim. Not so. I am Christian to the last breath but I know a cheap move when I see it. Shameful really because it will make Muslims look like victims when the real perpetrators are caught and will have some stupid excuse. There are cameras everywhere and finding the culprits will be more than a simple task.

exactly, nicely said.

Yes. Mosques are for both men and women but they pray in separate areas, most often in separate halls.

The reason for this is that during worship nothing should distract them from focusing on God. Also the postures during prayer in Islam mean that it makes sense for men and women not to pray together so that everyone can stay focused on God.

Some mosques around the world do not have a separate prayer halls for men and women, however, the vast majority do.

A very good example of a mosque with prayer halls for both men and women is the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London. It was designed to ensure that the men’s prayer hall in the mosque was equal in size to the women’s prayer hall – so welcoming men and women to the mosque without distinction. It also includes baby changing facilities and even a sound proof crèche so that everyone can attend the mosque with little distraction. The Holy Prophet of Islam(sa) is reported to have instructed Muslim men that they are not to stop their wives from attending the mosques, even at night:

‘Narrated Ibn Umar: The Prophet(saw) said, “Allow women to go to the Mosques at night.” ’ (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 22)

The rigid laws of Islam have deprived half of the population of their basic human rights. The male is in charge of the female: Koran 4:34, and the subjugated half is led to believe, through Islamic teachings, that the supremacy of the man is the will of Allah, and it has been predestined for women to live as submissive, obedient wives.

Allah doesn't want to see any women unveiled

i'm a Christian

That’s really sweet. Thanks for finding that. Although that’s not how I took that verse when I read it for the first time

Islam says if she is raped its her fault because she ALLOWED the devil to use her to temp the man to rape her. Therefore she is the real Rapist, unless 3 or more males witnessed it and will state it was not her fault.
islam also states women who are not muslims can and SHOULD be raped and humiliated and condones multiple rapers. This is because mohammed said ALL Byzantine women were Whores and Adulterers and should be raped.
islam teaches its ok to marry and sex prepubescent girls. mohammed set the PERFECT example my marrying baby Aisha and "FONDLING" her every night until he finally raping her "officially"

Fucking brilliant!

SJWs heads are exploding.

In Islam it is a crime...

Looks like an undercover SJW just outed herself.

Completely agree.. For what she did on this thread... super odd and surprising. How is Miss Cleo gonna read my mind when she can't even read a sign and understand it's purpose and meaning? She didn't like it's purpose so she tried to attack people and get them in trouble? Shame on her.

Divide and Conquer trolling. Funny.

Socialist and muslim alliance cracking at the seams.

Mohammed married a wealthy woman. He had a very poor self image to begin with so he projected on to her.

Muslis murder Christians all around the world and you're here as a "Christian" defending islam from someone that is trying to break up the socialist-muslim alliance.

Your beard is showing Mo.

No it's called trying to help people think through their contradictory and dangerous positions.

Progressives want female power and Islam.

They can't have both.

In Islam a woman's testimony is worth only 1/2 that of a man's. [link to www.independent.co.uk (secure)]
etc., etc.

Warning someone about an oncoming train is not a bad thing.

Of course, it was done in an provocative way that comes across like trolling.

But realistically, memes seem like only thing with social traction anymore.

They can't please everyone, but it will help some people to think. And that's a success.

Ya know, that sounds like a good idear.
