Full article title: "Melania and Ivanka wear black veils to meet the Pope at the Vatican after deciding not to wear head scarfs on Saudi visit (just like Michelle Obama) - as Pope asks the first lady if she's feeding Trump cake"
First Lady Melania Trump and the president's daughter, Ivanka, dressed in all black and wore veils to meet Pope Francis on Wednesday, just as former First Lady Michelle Obama did when she met Pope Benedict.
The women traveled to the Vatican on Wednesday with President Donald Trump, who was meeting with Francis for one of his most high-profile talks.
Trump, Melania, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner were greeted in a Vatican courtyard by Archbishop George Ganswein, the prefect of the pontifical household.
Melania and Ivanka kept with tradition and wore veils to meet Francis. The veil, or mantilla, is traditionally worn by women as a sign of respect when meeting the Pope. Trump senior aide Hope Hicks wore one as well.

Where did you find that? Did you make it?
I found the original, and the art work was different.
It is clever.
AP photos aren’t allowed on FR......
Hmmm. That photo must have been BEFORE President Trump told him in no uncertain terms that the Wall would be built “come hell or high water”, LOL!
The Bene Gesserit were part of a centuries long selective breeding program designed to direct the course of galactic history through marriages into the ruling families with the ultimate aim of the birth of a male Bene Gesserit who would be able to see through time and space. The book was heavy with religious metaphors.Anyway, Ivanka in that picture looks like my image of one of them. Extremely beautiful, intelligent, eerily composed, and dangerous when confronted with falsehood.
Have to look at it later; it’s being blocked by my work firewall.
Maybe a weblink might be better. the main pic I saw was found at dailymail.
I think it was 1 of 34.. Trump, Melania, Ivanka and Pope Francis.. and Trump was the only one smiling.
I remember reading several of the books and saw the movie (Remember Kyle McLachlan a the star) Spice was the prized ingredient for all. Produced by the worms found only on Arrkias?? Kyle I believe played Paul Antredis whose mother was Lady Jessica. Lady Jessica when she became Bene Gesserit drank a potion of Life’s waters and spice. At the time, she didn’t realize she was pg and thus, when Paul was born he, too, had this potion flowing thru his veins. “Life’s waters” was the fluid pressed from the body of the dead beloved. Fail to remember the exact word used; not certain if it was known as ‘life’s water’. Water being rare it was a high commodity. Spice users were also able to navigate space travel and fold space (IIRC) No doubt - I’ll need to find a copy of Dune and once again sit through the hours of video to refresh what little memory remains And, yes, do agree that Ivanka would have been perfect cast as a BG.
After Dune, Kyle moved on to Twin Peaks. Best scene in the movie was the fat, puss-y sadist jet packing around the palace shouting to those he looked down upon. And the riding of the worms. Much more difficult than hailing a NY taxi. Like the very long movie, after the first few books of Dune, you thought you were in quicksand and I lost interest.
Veils are traditionally worn by ladies when meeting the Pope.
The Catholic Mass totally focuses on Christ. Don’t be fooled by some who post untruths.
Ladies at my church are starting to wear hats and mantillas again. I believe the custom is coming back.
Thanks, I was not aware where it came from.
This is good. I haven’t noticed it at my parish but I’m glad to hear it. I used to have dozens of the little black doilies!

It had AP in the bottom left corner.
When one is closer to 80 than 70, the eyes miss a few things.
Yep I’m not far away either thus the need to examine more carefully. Take care.
I stopped driving about 6 years ago due to cataracts. My docs and DMV said my vision was good enough to drive. I didn’t to hurt someone driving with bad vision. My joke was I was blind in one eye and couldn’t see out of the other eye.
I had the cataracts removed and got the accommodating lenses.
Now, I have 20/10 far vision and most days don’t need reading glasses.
The positive change in far vision drives the local DMV people nuts. The last time, they felt that I had to be pulling some con until I passed all three tests they had . Then, I took the head gal outside and showed her stuff at 100 yards, that she couldn’t see. She laughed and wrote down my eye surgeon’s name and “Accommodating Lenses” for her parents. Then, she told them to issue my new license with no restrictions.
On cool mornings like this, I don’t see my 15” Chromebook as well, in the morning. My eye surgeon says that is normal.
Later when the temp gets to 70 and above my near vision improves until at night, when it cools down again. My wife jokes that is God’s way of telling me to stop using electronic gear and reading books.
Their attire style is a Vatican rule for non-royal women. Royal women such as Queens or Queen Consorts can wear white.
The Queen of England makes women wear stockings to her court (which Michelle ignored).
