Penutupan kepala Kristen

Wanita Kristen Ortodoks di Ukraina.

Penutupan kepala Kristen adalah pemakaian kerudung di kepala oleh wanita dalam berbagai tradisi Kristen. Beberapa hanya memakainya dalam ibadah umum,[1] sementara yang lainnya meyakini bahwa mereka harus menutup kepala mereka sepanjang waktu.[2] Dasar Alkitab untuk penutupan kepala ditemukan dalam 1 Korintus 11:2–16.[3] Meskipun penutupan kepala dipraktikan oleh kebanyakan wanita Kristen sampai paruh akhir abad ke-20,[4] ini sekarang merupakan praktik minoritas pada kalangan Kristen kontemporer di dunia Barat.

Only then do we begin to consider things that may happen when we “come together.” The praying or prophesying contemplated in verse 1 Corinthians 11:5 is not in connection with the formal assemblies of God’s saints.”
