The Holy Apostle Paul also speaks about the covering of the head by a woman in his epistle to the Corinthians: “and every woman who prays or prophesies with her head open shames her head, and if a wife is ashamed to be cut or shaved, let her be covered” (1 Cor. 11: 5). A woman's cut hair was considered a shame in ancient times, and vice versa, long hair was the main decoration for a wife.
The apostolic decree is still valid today, everyone who enters the church knows that there is a church dress code that has its own rules and characteristics. And the first thing that catches your eye is the parishioners in headscarves, and this does not depend on age. Why wear them now?
In ancient times, only married women covered their heads. And until today it is a symbol of obedience to her husband, meekness and humility. And what can you not cover your head unmarried? And if a girl with an uncovered head enters the temple, then in no case should she be condemned, she has not broken any rules. But it is necessary to teach to wear headscarves from an early age, so as not to give grounds for condemnation to others who do not know the church canons well. Moreover, the church headscarf has long been associated as an element of a woman's pious appearance.
The appearance of a person tunes him in a certain way, therefore, church rules prescribe that he dresses in a temple - modestly. Clothing, or lack thereof, can distract others from prayer, and for women, hair is one of the main beauty items. Therefore, covering the head in women promotes church service so that no one is distracted.
The fact that a covered head is a call to humility is shown by the fact that priests also wear special headdresses during divine services, as a sign of obedience and humility before God.
How to choose?
Today, scarves and braids that women wear to divine services have long become the subject of "church fashion"; there are a huge variety of them.
Before buying, you need to decide on the shape and size, because there are those that cover only the head, and there are those that cover both the shoulders and even the back.
You also need to take into account the type of fabric, for example, so that the scarf does not slip, you need to choose from a denser fabric.
Seasonality is also important, in the summer heat it is better to wear it in light colors with thin fabric, this type will also protect from the rays of the sun.
Before you buy a scarf for church, you need to consider that scarves can be tied in various ways:
1. Traditional

3. Without fixation
