[quote=Anonymous]If you read the above quotation from the New Testament relating to women covering their heads, you will see that it relates specifically to women in Church.  Some denominations do still encourage or require women to cover their heads in Church (some Eastern Orthodox denominations, some Protestant denominations).  Covering the head in Church used to be more common (e.g., mantillas in Catholic Churches and ladies wearing hats to Church among Protestants).  A very few Protestants interpret this to mean women shoukd cover their heads at all times (e.g., some denominations of Mennonites and the Amish).

Most Christians, even very conservative ones, see the head covering injunctions of St. Paul as injunctions that were made against very specific practices of the society in which he was speaking.  Thus - they are not applicable today.

The whole point of Mary's pregnancy is that God entered history at a specific time and place.  Mary was a woman of her time and yes she did cover her head, but that does not imply that we are required to do that.  As Christians, we are not subject to the old law, but Mary was as a  Jewish woman.

May God bless us all with increased understanding![/quote]
