sk8beaker8 Posted September 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi! Are there any churches where females have to cover their head? I know that shoulders and knees must be covered... Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzywuzzy Posted September 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi!Are there any churches where females have to cover their head? I know that shoulders and knees must be covered... Thanks for all your help! We walked into a few churches/cathedrals and women did not have to cover their heads. No shorts are allowed though and maybe your arms should be covered. I wore capri pants and elbow length sleeves and I did have a hat on. Most people did not have hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubamoose Posted September 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The Catholic Church has done away with that years ago. Don't know about any other faiths. Thank goodness. I remember many a time walking into church with a Kleenex bobby pinned to my head because I forgot my hat or scarf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted September 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2013 No head coverings are required in churches. As you noted, it is good to make sure shoulders and knees are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted September 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Head covering went out around the time of Vatican II (in the 60's), so no worry there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You do need a head covering to go into a Mosque. When we travel in Muslim countries DW always keeps a silk scarf in her purse in case we decide to drop into a Mosque. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted September 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2013 One of the reasons I always pack and carry a bandana on any trip I go on! So many uses... Hank is right about mosques. You may also encounter an Orthodox church also where old customs die hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
