Why Nuns Cover Their Hair

[@gedigi9010]

So much respect for the nuns 🙏🏻

[@Wendy-rt5em]

They are the true strength. I worked in a convent The things that the nuns told me was so disturbing Another of them were 12 13 when they came to the convent. There parents couldn't afford to care for them so they were given to the church. They were brought over by ship to the states. Many from Ireland Many times there were sisters so 2 or 3 girls from one family. I will never forget them

As a Catholic, who has a lot of admiration of those who devote their lives to vocation, I have far more respect for nuns than I do for the priests. While many men enter the priesthood because they are genuinely interested in serving the community, it is also a path to power within the Catholic hierarchy. So the priestly vocation can attract the ambitious and those with less than virtuous motives. When a woman strives to be a nun, she knows from the outset that such a vocation will not garner her glory or influence. Hence, for the most part, the vocation attracts some of the best women.

Incorrect at 2:46-- St. Scholastica, the sister of S. Benedict (who you had just mentioned), was an abbess, and regarded as the foundress of Benedictine nuns-- so that was back in the 6th Century. St. Clare, in the 13th Century, was the follower of S. Francis, a friar-- a different movement from the enclosed monks and nuns; though she and other women would have been enclosed, at that time. So there were nuns at least 600 years before the 13 century-- if not before!

A woman's long hair, is the true head covering!

​​@@worldview730if my husband covers his head outside for me. And also wears long vests no matter how hot it is outside for me. I'll have a long talk with him abt how he shouldn't go to such an extent bc of anyone You're just a man, your wife doesn't owe you anything

A Proper wife would wear modest OUTSIDE of her home to PROTECT her self from Strangers and Perverts who would Sexualize her. Hijab is meant to protect the Women outside of her home from Perverts and Strangers, and she can wear whatever she likes in her home.

St. Clare shaved her head as a sign of Piety? And Paul said what?

[@worldview730]

what?

[@michaelplunkett8059]

But she also wore a habit.

Just think, all this dogma of covering one's head, came from men. Hmmm

Our nuns at school would sometimes go without head coverings

[@maureentuohy8672]

There is no vow of “faith” Our vows are Chastity, Poverty, and OBEDIENCE.

[@m.f.richardson1602]

Thank you Interesting

[@danceORsing]

St Paul said what 😵‍💫

[@alphacause]

A nun's habit is in partly designed to deemphasize their sexuality, making their commitment to chastity that much easier. The apparel attempts to minimize men being tempted. Hair has always been seen as a very alluring aspect of a woman's beauty, hence covering it is a means of deterring the male gaze. With that said, for some men, a nun's habit has the exact opposite effect. They find the "forbidden fruit" aspect of a nun's uniform and vocation more enticing. To be candid, I am one of those men. I find a nun's uniform more arousing than a woman in a bikini. I don't know what that says about me. 🤨

[@xlro8f853]

Why cover their locks? Because god likes hats.

[@cynhiacations9879]

Remember the bible was written by men and they like to keep women under their control

[@michaelplunkett8059]

Cast aside vanity by covering hair and the identical dress was to lose personal selfishness and share a deeper sense of community.

[@cherribenzin8289]

Nuns and sisters are not ordained. They take vows and are consecrated.

[@LS-ei7xk]

True. The video was also incorrect about that (re: S. Clare), and S. Francis wasn't a bishop. But she spent some time in a Benedictine monastery, at first, so she must have made her vows there. I think S. Francis just rec'd her as a Franciscan. Not sure how all that was done, as Benedictines also make vows of stability.

Because those women are not preaching

It's optional. A lot of women do wear head-coverings or veils in church.
