Etsy is so great!

I am so excited to have had this beautiful chapel veil custom made for me to wear to Mass on Easter Sunday!  If you are not familiar with etsy.com it's a wonderful place to find handmade treasures of all sorts, especially jewelry.

I was having a hard time finding a nice white chapel veil that would cover all my hair until I discovered a Catholic mom and artist who specializes in making them.  Wearing a chapel veil is a relatively new custom for me.  I've been wearing a black one for the past six months.  Pre-Vatican II, women were required to have their head covered in church, but many women today are choosing to wear them to imitate Mary's humble example and to show reverence for our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

May we all be joyfully anticipating the Resurrection of Our Lord this Easter!

    Take photos this Sunday! I thought of you in Panama City, last week, while I visited a gorgeous cathedral built in the 1600's. Happy Holy Week~!~

    Thanks for the heads-up, Deborah. Ever since I saw you sporting one, I have considered that I need to wear a veil to Mass. I'll order one asap.
