Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:55:35 -0800 I like to visit catholic (benedictine) monasteries, and there I sense a quietness, a reverence, that I don't find in most christian churches. I am not catholic, so I don't understand all of the rituals that they do, but the sense of reverence still comes through, and touches my heart and draws me closer to God.
I think the head scarf is somewhat similar. I didn't understand it very well, prior to Femmy's explanation, but I still sensed that, at least for many muslims, it is some sort of symbol of respect for God, of acknowledgement and respect for something greater than the self, and I like that.
Femmy's explanation of modesty also really helped. Standards of clothing do vary tremendously from one culture to another, which helps me to understand why covering one's head might be as important in some cultures, as covering one's breasts in other cultures.
