so if Mary is portrayed in this way in order for respect, does that mean that women in Christian society now are not?

in her time this was the custom also we are told to cover our heads in scripture maybee we christians should all go back to wearing hats to church??
1Cor.11:5-6
5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.
6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

I guess they have been involved in stylish clothing given 0.5 the possibility! I even have in no way heard the argument that a head overlaying could be worn because of the fact MARY develop into veiled. however the Bible does practice in a million Corinthians 11:15 that a woman's long hair is her overlaying - so as that's the only overlaying that God demands, no longer a textile veil.

This portrayal is an accurate depiction of the style of Jewish culture of the time. A covered head is a sign of demurity and respect. A prostitute would go bare-headed.
And the previous comment that Mary had other children is completely false.

Because that's how women in that area of the world dressed at that point in history. She looked like anyone else.

I think that is just the perceived style of the day. I never thought any more of it than that. And btw, she's not a virgin anymore. She had more kids after Jesus in the normal way.

I'm not Catholic, but I have seen pictures of her without a covering.

because God wants for women to be modest and cover themselves, including their hair
