Hello y'all!

I'm an orthodox catechumen and have been wondering about wearing a veil. I'm coming out of a church group/denomination/low level cult where my mother was very insistent that all women should be wearing a head covering even though it's not a salvational issue. I was pressured very deeply and told that if I did end up starting to wear one but then stopped it would be very very bad, worse than not choosing to.

So, along with talking to different women in my parish, I would like to know why you wear one or not?

please, asking very nicely and gently, I ask for no one to preach at me. I have a very competent husband and a wonderful Priest I can go to for that. Thank you!
