I know that women are supposed to dress modestly, but head covering, as in a veil? That is really in the NT?

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven" (1 Cor 11:15)

"For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man." (1 Cor 11:17)

"For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels." (1 Cor 11:10)

For a people who comb through the Bible as much as Proptestants do, you sure seem to miss an awful low of verses...picky, picky, picky. :)

Do Eastern Orthodox women wear head coverings to the Divine Liturgy?
