Religious hats?

[Saint Frankenstein]

I want a religious hat now. I already wear hats, so why not a special one?

Make one!

These are the sort of veils Catholic women traditionally wear at church:

They're called chapel veils. They are expected if you're going to a Latin Mass, but not with the Novus Ordo Mass. They're still commonly worn in strongly Catholic cultures, and younger women are reviving the practice as a sign of their traditional beliefs. Orthodox women wear much the same sort of veils at church, too.

Those are pretty .

Does practising your religion require the wearing of some type of hat, headdress or covering?

If so, why?

And do you personally observe this requirement?

My religion doesn't

This is a really good question, and I am sorry that it has not gotten more love. Hunting down anthropological papers on the significance of religious head coverings across societies and time is now on my list of things to be done.

What’s that old meme?
Religion is just a world wide competition to see who can come up with the silliest hat!

(This comment is in jest!!)

Well, as a Pastafarian, there is the optional colander hat the judge told me I could wear to jury duty. It wasn't relevant, so I didn't wear it.

What tradition is he from? I almost always hold my hands like that when I meditate, but have no idea why, other than it feels 'right'.

I could totally rock that hat.

According to Buddhism the Buddha used to do a meditation called paradhukka dhukkitha which is a standing meditation with your hands across your chest like a cross, while thinking about sadness.

Thankfully Jesus wasn't 'religious.'
No funny hats to 'show' His importance.
Jesus did not stand out from anyone else, no, not even a halo over his head.

I used to wear a kippah, now I do not.
