Over at other forums, there is strident language used against women who dare to wear headcoverings during the Holy Services of the Holy Orthodox Church or at all times in imitation of the Holy Theotokos and other righteous saints. Some World Orthodox seem to think that we wear the headcovering because we are proud and legalistic. Yet, they deny that they are disobedient in choosing not to wear a headcovering even when visiting a monastery.
What are the reasons for wearing a head covering?
