Ah, Those Headcoverings

". . . let’s hear it for the veil/bonnet/headscarf. A symbol of old fashioned values, one’s cultural heritage, and a way to live green."

"Sunbonnets, Headscarves and Hijabs: The latest Green Trend?"
Posted on July 16th, 2008, by Nancy Reyes in (check out the labels this article falls under in the BloggerNewsNetwork:) All News, Archeology & Antiquities News, Breaking News, Environmental News, Humor, Religious News, Society and Culture. Nancy Reyes is a retired physician living in the rural Philippines. Her website is Finest Kind Clinic and Fishmarket.


In the above article, the author mentions "coffee Catholic," who posted this similarly veined article: "Headscarves... an interesting adventure!" Here, read from a Christian perspective how interesting the variety of headcoverings are, and how sometimes they are linked to a certain belief or culture, but inevitably, practical as well as lovely and important. Also check this article for photos and links to sites that sell various head coverings.

If only everyone would cover - for whatever reason! - then maybe there wouldn't be such a skuffuffle over the whole issue.
