    Orthodox Christian women wear veils in church and in that part of the world, women continued wearing veils long past western Europe.

      You do realize that it’s a choice made by the woman herself right? If you enter Othrodox church as a woman not wearing one they won’t kick you out. It’s also a tradition not a requirement.

      I’ve been in my fair share of Orthodox churches in Romania and very few women actually wear a veil for normal church services.

      Ah, I didn’t know that. Not many Orthodox Christians near me

      In many regions in India, almost all kinds of Christians wear that in church
