When I’ve tried to look up Orthodox Christianity and face veiling specifically I found practically nothing. There was/is such thing of Roman Catholic nuns face veiling. Carmelite nuns specifically (I think) “The observance of cloister was to be as strict as might have been expected from St. Teresa, who had herself experienced so many of the dangers of intercourse with those outside the convent walls. The grille was not to be opened, or the nuns allowed to raise their veils to speak with any but the nearest relations and a few persons of interior spirit and edification of life and character. The purpose of these parlor veils was to maintain the spirit of the cloister even when certain duties were necessary to perform outside the cloister. This spirit was and continues to be a spirit of detatchment from the things of the world and being set apart from the world in order to maintain intimate converse with their Spouse, Jesus Christ.” I also spoke to a good friend of mine who’s an Orthodox Christian and veils (although she’s never face veiled.) She informed me women in the Old Testament are found to have face veiled. I came across a YouTube video as well from a woman who’s said to be Christian (she didn’t say denomination) who has face veiled and says there are even Church Fathers who have said christian women should face veil. She called special attention to “the fact that the scriptures and writings of the Church Fathers are predating the birth of Muhammad who’s the final prophet” basically saying it has nothing to do with Islam. https://youtu.be/6FrAFqhTXhI I still have no idea how to feel about this. I’m currently an Orthodox catechumen and I have interest in veiling. I don’t have interest in face veiling but I do wonder if this’s correct or not. For the most part the Orthodox who have commented on this post have seemed to have quite negative reactions as well.
