Hi
Wondering - What is the difference etween Chapel Veils and Mantillas?
Also, which is more suitable (if one ore than the other)?
Thanks
Amy

Mantillas are what Spanish and Latin Americans call chapel veils 🙂
 
The way my mom and I have always called them, the chapel veils are the small circles of lace that sit on the top of the head. A mantilla (which is a spanish word 😉 ) is a larger triangle, that covers the back of the head, sides, and sometimes part of the shoulders.
The more traditionally-minded Catholics tend to prefer the mantilla.
(I wear either.)
God bless!! 🙂

This is the way I think of them too… I prefer a mantilla because the chapel veil reminds me of a doily…
 
Thanks again 🙂
i now have quite an odd image of me wearing one of my nan’s doilies 😉 …
