When I read the topic, I said Praise the Lord, and you have a new subscriber ❤

Sometimes I want to do it but I don't want to make other women inconfortable such as if I veiled and they aren't they would feel inconfortable being less covered than me.

Lydia, your hair came out very pretty ! I liked this helpful reminder of how to have moderation in our lives with everything. God bless you !

Thank you very beautiful lady I am so happy because you are Orthodox woman 😊❤

Love the hair girly looks great color fits you.❤😊

Us Orthodox girls wear light makeup that's how it is and modest dress.❤😊

I’m currently an orthodox catechumen and you’re living the dream! I wish to be a mother and orthodox Christian above all

Your hair came out so nice! Honey is good in coffee. Recently I've been putting maple syrup in my coffee, and it tastes good also.

Lighter hair really flatters your face, so do the curls.

Your eye color is so beautiful. Thank you for this video. I have a conviction for femininity being tall with a low voice. It’s interesting to hear other orthodox Christian’s discuss the topic.

I veil at an Antiochian church it's wild how many renarks I've had. It was me and another older lady and slowly some of the youngwr ones have started veiling as well. It was pressing against my instinct. And i listened and although i feared standing out. I'm glad i did. People get used to it. Just make sure you do it for the right reasons.

What’s the pups name? 😊

I need this so much right now! I have 3 daughters and it is tough to navigate femininity in our culture.

Thank you for your videos! My family and I were baptized into the Orthodox Church almost 4 years ago, so I feel like I still have so much to learn. I feel so incredibly blessed to have the life I have.

You are now my comfort KZbinr! Love your content. Do you mind me asking, were your parents Russian by descent and that’s why you grew up in the Russian Orthodox Church? Is your husband also cradle or convert?

To be honest, I had no idea that my prefered lifestyle would be considered counter-culture, but here we are and I'm ok with that. I find traditional roles more satisfying in the long run. There is balance in everything. I have no desire to compete with my husband in the workforce, and he has no desire to compete with my authority as being the homemaker.

I like your video. Thanks for sharing, it's so important to stand strong in our faith. A few things that I do is I try to have friendships within my church community. I try to attend a Bible study or women's group at church for support. If it's difficult for your church community to form one maybe you can reach out to other Orthodox churches, even if they are far away, you can still ask if they can have you included over zoom or something like that for Bible study meetings or women's group meetings and such. Or maybe you can start one in your church. 😀🤗🙏God bless you, sister.

I have no issue if you want to veil but biblically your hair is your covering.

I love your videos, Lydia! God bless you and your family. Which editing software do you use?

instead like because you mentioned children will be playing in the background 💖

Hi! Happy Epiphany! I wonder if you can tell us more about your religious "background", I don't know much about Orthodoxy in America, do you go to Serbian, Russian or Greek Orthodox Church?

Just stumbled upon your videos. Veiling is beautiful it reminds me of our most holy Theotokos, I hope more orthodox Christian women choose to veil while in church. Are you Russian orthodox? ☦️

Very interesting!!!❤😊

Loved this 🤍💫

I have liked the idea of celebrating on the 7th ever since I found out about it. Maybe this will be a tradition for my future family. Hope you have a blessed New Year And Merry Christmas! God bless you and your family. And happy belated birthday!

Hi there! As an Orthodox Christian, I'm not sure how faith, humility, and service are inherently feminine virtues, but rather virtues that all Christians should pursue, regardless of gender. God bless!

Hi there! im looking into becoming a convert, I was wondering if you had a nice list of female saints? I can only find a very few like Mary of Egypt is the main one, I understand the importance of male saints but i would like to feel a little more connected to a woman saint if that makes sense? Thank you! im watching all of your videos to learn!

I started to attend a brethren church and started to veil about a year now. It was very new to me, but after much study I understood Gods ordinance about veiling. At first it took time to feel comfortable, but once you understand its meaning…makes it easier. I also have family that don’t understand. But I answer to God, not people. I came out of some wrong doctrinal churches, in which my Lord directed me. I thank God for his mercy and grace. It’s been 47 years of following my Lord. Never too old to grow in the Lord. Sadly, many churches do not teach on veiling. Some say it’s a cultural thing, which is not scriptural. Thanks for sharing your scarves…beautiful. I wear veils and sometimes a beret. But the veils do feel more feminine.

These are all beautiful reasons to veil, I also find the blessed reasons of veiling to be a reminder that we are the bride awaiting with the lamp for the Bridegroom. And also it is a type of blessed hug from our Triune Father. (I feel under the shadow of His wing when veiled) And a type of Grace surrounds when veiled which is awe inspiring in blessed humility.😭🩷☦️

Christ is Born! Love your videos... hope you are celebrating these fast-free two weeks (ish) :)

I love the kerchief scarfs for my everyday wear and longer ones for Mass. I would be interested in knowing where to find ones, especially family owned or religious run places. Thank you and God bless ❤

Did you grow up Russian Orthodox? How was it for you? We are catechists but my husband is scared the kids will leave the church later in life for having to sit through Church

Happy Birthday Lydia ! Thank you for sharing about your Christmas traditions. They are so beautiful ! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day for your birthday and ofcourse a date time with your husband. That is very important for you both. God bless you.

Happy birthday!! 🎉 Thanks for sharing. The Orthodox parish we attend follows the Gregorian calendar, but it’s neat that many follow the Julian calendar. I’m still an inquirer so learning a lot! I never thought about how celebrating in January has the benefit of Christmas sales. That is really nice 😄

Good on you for veiling. It's a beautiful significant.. I veil when Im ready the Holy Bible and at church

Christ is Born ! Glorify Him ! God Bless you and your family. I remembered that you were celebrating the old calendar Christmas as you mentioned. Enjoy ! Your sister in Christ, Penny.

Love your content ❤ thanks for this

Thanks for bringing us to your home and family. It feels like I'm visiting a friend. Happy and healthy new year !

Не во всех странах в православных (ортодоксальных) храмах женщины накрывают головы. Больше в Восточной Европе. Это может быть платок, шарф, шапка - главное прикрыть волосы. Бабушки могут сделать замечание 😊 но в общем всё без фанатизма. Мужчины же наоборот должны снимать головные уборы, входя не только в храм, но и под крышу любого дома).

Isn’t veiling something invented by men rather than God?

🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏👍👍

Hi! I'm interested if you could share some of your favorite Orthodox books or books in general that have inspired you. I really enjoy your vlogs a lot!!

I like your vlogs a lot ! I like how you explain different ways how you deal with your chores and challenges that us moms deal with. I would also like to learn more of your traditions from church. I am a Greek Orthodox Christian on the new calendar and would like to learn of the differences. Thank you. God bless ❤

I love vlogs, I love watching everyday life.

I think vlogs where you feel most comfortable. Like this one, you look very happy.

Great video!! I wish we had snow like that hehe

🎉❤🌹🙏 yes I know I do it Yes daughter answer my prayers for ever amen 💖 hallelujah
