This tradition is said to follow the tradition of Christian prayer veiling, though there is some differences. Present day Mennonites are typically seen wearing a small white cap pinned to their hair which is pulled up tightly in a bun.

"3 But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and a husband the head of his wife,* and God the head of Christ.
