I remember women covering their heads in church. As young girls, we always wore hats or veils or “beanies”.

I remember girls forgetting their hats and fastening pieces of tissue to their heads with bobbi pins.

I remember that, too. I also remember getting into the habit of wearing a stretchy headband and my mom getting fed up and saying I needed to start covering my head and not just wear a headband every week. I think monsignor would make remarks about it (girls wearing headbands instead of covering their heads) in the homily, too.

I remember girls forgetting their hats and fastening pieces of tissue to their heads with bobbi pins.

I remember that, too. I remember my mom and my aunts using a handkerchief folded into a square pinned to the top of their head.

Back in those days it was required that a woman wear a head covering when in a church.

I also remember that. :-) We didn’t dare not cover our heads in church. And I’m only talking about the early 70’s when I was a young girl. By then, many other changes were already in the works.
