In what would form part of a 'New Testament', St.Paul obligated the then common practice of the veil for all women: 'And every woman who prays or prophesies with her hair uncovered dishonors her hair - it is just as though her hair were shaved. If a woman does not cover her hair, she should have her hair cut off or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image of glory of God; but woman is glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.[1] For this reason and because of the angels, woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head. (I Corinthians 11:4-10)
