El velo cristiano, también conocido como cubrirse la cabeza, es la práctica de las mujeres de cubrirse la cabeza en entre el cristianismo. Algunas mujeres cristianas llevan la cabeza cubierta sólo en el culto público y durante la oración privada en casa,[1][2]​mientras que otras creen que las mujeres deben llevar la cabeza cubierta en todo momento. Entre las iglesias orientales y Ortodoxas bizantina, algunos teólogos enseñan también que "se espera que todas las mujeres estén cubiertas no sólo durante los períodos litúrgicos de oración, sino en todo momento, porque este era su honor y signo de autoridad dada por nuestro Señor",[3]​mientras que otros han sostenido que el velo debe usarse al menos durante la oración y el culto.[4][5]​Génesis 24:65[6]​apunta el velo como un emblema femenino de modestia.[7][8]​Los manuales del cristianismo primitivo, incluidos la Didascalia Apostolorum y el Pædagogus, instruían que las mujeres debían cubrirse la cabeza durante la oración y el culto, así como fuera del hogar.[9][10]​Cuando San Pablo ordenó que las mujeres usaran velo en 1 Corintios 11, las mujeres griegas paganas de los alrededores no usaban velo; como tal, la práctica del velo cristiano era contracultural en la era apostólica, siendo una ordenanza bíblica más que una tradición cultural.[11][12][13][14]​El estilo del velo varía según la región, aunque la Tradición Apostólica especifica un "paño opaco, no con un velo de lino fino".[15]

It does not make sense that Paul would assert something was disgraceful that in their culture was not considered disgraceful. Concerning Greek customs A. Oepke observes: ... It is quite wrong [to assert] that Greek women were under some kind of compulsion to wear a veil. ... Passages to the contrary are so numerous and unequivocally that they cannot be offset. ...Empresses and goddesses, even those who maintain their dignity, like Hera and Demeter, are portrayed without veils.»

Consultado el 5 April 2022. «Around the year 200, at Carthage, North Africa, Tertullian wrote a tract entitled, "The Veiling of Virgins." Tertullian makes the argument that the passage applies to all females of age — not just to married women. ... Earlier in his tract, Tertullian testified that the churches that were founded by the apostles did insist that both their married women and their virgins be veiled: Throughout Greece, and certain of its barbaric provinces, the majority of churches keep their virgins covered. In fact, this practice is followed in certain places beneath this African sky. So let no one ascribe this custom merely to the Gentile customs of the Greeks and barbarians. Moreover, I will put forth as models those churches that were founded by either apostles or apostolic men. ... The Corinthians themselves understood him to speak in this manner. For to this very day the Corinthians veil their virgins. What the apostles taught, the disciples of the apostles confirmed. [Tertullian, The Veiling of Virgins The Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. 4 pp. 27-29,33] ... In summary, the early Christians practiced exactly what 1 Cor. 11 says: Men prayed with their heads uncovered. Women prayed with their heads veiled. Nobody disputed this — regardless of where they lived — Europe, Mid-East, North Africa, or the Far East. This written evidence of the course of performance of the early Christians is corroborated by the archaeological record. The pictures we have from the second and third centuries from the catacombs and other places depict Christian women praying with a cloth veil on their heads. Some of those pictures are shown below. So the historical record is crystal clear. It reveals that the early generation of believers understood the head covering to be a cloth veil — not long hair. As Tertullian indicated, even the women who did not wish to follow Paul's teaching were not claiming that Paul was talking about long hair. Rather, they simply wore a small cloth in minimal obedience to his teaching. Nobody in the early Church claimed that Paul's instructions were merely a concession to Greek culture. Nobody claimed that they had anything to do with prostitutes or pagan priestesses.»

Lockman Foundation. «As Paul's instructions were counter-cultural, this passage is "a remarkable proof of the Apostle's courage and honesty." Paul teaches that going without a headcovering means a loss of "dignity, power, and grace, which God had given to women, especially under the Gospel." The idea that "a woman who casts off the covering of her head, casts off her dignity ... involves a moral truth ... Thus the divine Apostle has left a lesson to women in every age." Beyond the practice of the local Corinthian church, the author cites Early Church writers on this topic. He also notes that "the Apostolic Constitutions [4th century AD] ... expressly commanded that the women should have their heads covered in the Church."».

ISBN 978-0-8028-0144-9. «Paul is not simply endorsing standard Roman or even Greco-Roman customs in Corinth. Paul was about the business of reforming his converts' social assumptions and conventions in the context of the Christian community. They were to model new Christian customs, common in the assemblies of God but uncommon in the culture, thus staking out their own sense of a unique identity. ...In light of Roman practice, it is very believable that some Christian Roman males were covering their heads when they were about to pray or prophesy. Paul is not interested in baptizing the status quo or normal Roman practice. He is setting up new customs for a new community, and these customs are deeply grounded in his theological understanding of creation, redemption, their interrelation, and how they should be manifested in worship.»
