The Bible says that a man’s head is Christ, and if he puts something on his head and prays, he will dishonor his head. In other words, it is an act of disgrace to Christ. A man must not wear anything on his head when he prays or worships. | The Bible says that a man’s head is Christ, and if he puts something on his head and prays, he will dishonor his head.

The Bible says a woman should have her head shaved if she wants to pray without a veil on her head. It does not mean that you will actually shave it, but it emphasizes that women should wear a veil.

Apostle Paul mentioned the order of the church and its related matters according to the example of Christ, in his first letter to the saints in Corinth (book of 1 Corinthians). In chapter 11, he explained the regulation of veil. In the Corinthian Church at that time, some women insisted on gender equality and attempted to remove a veil from their head during worship. Apostle Paul tried to correct this by explaining the teachings of Jesus Christ and the meaning of wearing a veil. | Apostle Paul mentioned the order of the church and its related matters according to the example of Christ, in his first letter to the saints in Corinth (book of 1 Corinthians).

Apostle Paul emphasized once again that women should wear a veil just as it is natural and look beautiful when a woman has long hair. Such human nature implies that a woman is beautiful before God when she puts something on her head like having long hair. | Apostle Paul emphasized once again that women should wear a veil just as it is natural and look beautiful when a woman has long hair.

The phrase, “For long hair is given to her as a covering,” means that a woman’s long hair makes her want to wear a veil during worship. Some interpret this: “If you have long hair, you don't need to wear a veil on your head.” However, it is contradictory to the teaching of Christ that women should wear a veil. Additionally, if the use of a veil depends on the length of woman’s hair, Apostle Paul must have written a definite standard for the hair length. | The phrase, “For long hair is given to her as a covering,” means that a woman’s long hair makes her want to wear a veil during worship.
