Times and Seasons explores the history of female veiling in Mormonism, comparing LDS funeral and temple veiling practices to similar traditions in Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Islam. The blog post examines how these practices have evolved within the Church.

The author discusses the mantilla worn by traditional Catholics, papal audience protocol, Orthodox head-covering requirements, and Islamic dress codes as points of comparison. The piece notes that while veiling would sound familiar to other religious traditions, Mormon practice has changed significantly over time.

The post reflects ongoing interest among Latter-day Saints in understanding their own ritual practices through the lens of broader religious history and comparative theology.
