Fifty years ago almost every Catholic woman and girl owned a chapel veil. Yet with their disappearance the Church lost a lovely symbol for womanhood. Elizabeth Black and Emily Sparks explain the theology, history, tradition and symbolism of the chapel veil and give today’s Catholic woman a reason to wear one once again.

The two essays contained in this booklet get to the very root of the meaning of the veil. This prayerful, in-depth explanation of the symbolism behind the chapel veil portrays the theology of the veil in such a clear yet breathtakingly beautiful way that it has the potential to renew our devotion for the Eucharist, our awe at the intimacy of the love of God, and our resolve to honor God in any way we can.

    This is a wonderful explanation of veiling. I loved learning about the deeper spiritual meaning behind veiling, especially in regards to the Eucharist. Highly recommended!

    Book review - The Chapel Veil

    Posted by Carla on 20th Nov 2023

    I have debated to veil or not at church. I am an Orthodox Christian and our church is does not require women to veil but many of them do. I come from a protestant background so when I did wear a veil it was hot or I was constantly fighting to keep it on my head. After reading this book I realize that veiling in God's presence is so much more sacred and has a deeper meaning than I realized. I love how it connects veiling to the Eucharist. I highly recommend this book, (and I bought it for my two of my close orthodox friends).

    Very informative. Easy to understand. Shared with my husband. This has helped me to be able to better witness to my wearing the veil. I am surprised how some are misguided or misunderstand the meaning of the veil. You do a beautiful job with materials to educate. Thank you!

    I enjoyed this book and it offers a clear explanation that promotes wearing a chapel veil. I only wish a few more essays had been included.

    This booklet may seem a little pricey but it is the best of the best and worth every penny.

    We've begun sharing this with our fellow veil-wearing parishioners. The first one has already told us that they are ordering more to give to our parish leaders. This message needs to be incorporated into our Religious Ed program. Also ordered some of the veil clips. They are excellent and this is the only place where we were able to order them

    I loved ordering this along with my veils and furthering my understanding of this beautiful sacramental. Highly recommend for one getting started in veiling to deepen you devotion.
