Isn’t it outdated for a woman to cover her head during worship? Why is veiling part of the consecration rite?  

In this episode, Karen, Hannah, Simi and Dawn discuss the rich scriptural and theological significance of the second insignia of the consecration rite: the veil. 

Unlike ordinary marriage, a consecrated virgin enters the church unveiled but, during the ceremony, is veiled by her Bishop as a sign of her protection and concealment by Christ her Spouse. 

Karen, Hannah, Simi and Dawn talk about their own experiences of receiving the veil and what this has meant to them spiritually in their consecrated lives. 

Scripture for this episode: 

“My heart overflows with noble words.

To the king I must speak the song I have made,

my tongue as nimble as the pen of a scribe.

You are the fairest of the children of men

and graciousness is poured upon your lips:

because God has blessed you for evermore.

… Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words:

forget your own people and your father’s house.

So will the king desire your beauty:

He is your Lord, pay homage to him.”

Psalm 45:1-2, 10-11
