      Orthodox Christian women wear veils in church and in that part of the world, women continued wearing veils long past western Europe.

        You do realize that it’s a choice made by the woman herself right? If you enter Othrodox church as a woman not wearing one they won’t kick you out. It’s also a tradition not a requirement.
