Scarfs at Mass

In Paul Turner's Blog by Paul Turner

Q: Thank you for your time and attention to the many questions you are asked.  Personally, I value your work and responses in my ministry.

Recently, we have noticed some women, who are regular Mass attendees, have begun to wear scarfs.  It is a new “habit” at Sunday Mass and Daily Mass.  We are struggling to understand where this originated and why?  And why all of a sudden!   My grandmother and mother spoke of wearing scarves but never shared why.  Honestly, they did not wear veils but shared stories of how it was done in the past.

Can you direct us to any documents that explain the wearing of chapel scarfs?
