1.) Why don’t you upload the photo and show us? I, for one, would like to see it.No that is why there is a picture of it. They didn’t normally have camera’s at church back then. Both my grandmother and my great grandmother were veiled. The picture is taken after Mass out on the steps. Other but not all women are veiled. Some have hats.
My grandmother crocheted lace and made her and her children veils. I wish I had her skill. She was also Irish so it was not a hispanic thing as some people insist
2.) The lace crocheted by the Irish, then re-embroidered, is again different than the lace made in France, in Spain, or in other parts of Europe.
3.) Are you sure they are not Galway shawls? Galway shawls used for “good” or “Sunday” can be, but are not always, similar to heavy lace veils.
