About Mantilla: The Veil Of The Bride Of Christ
The mantilla or the chapel veil is part of the rich traditions of the Catholic Church. Recently, it is gaining familiarity in the Church in Indonesia. Besides being a tradition, the mantilla is also accepted and promoted as a form of private Eucharistic devotion. However, still not many people understand the deep and beautiful meaning of the Christian practice of veiling Although originally written for Indonesian audience, "Mantilla: the Veil of the Bride of Christ" is relevant for readers in the entire Church. This book helps answer the need for catechesis and apologetics on Christian veiling, from history to theology, from the Sacred Scripture to St. Thomas Aquinas to St. John Paul II. It is hoped that we may know and love this ancient practice more, and also able to explain it to those who ask about a reason of that hope which is in us (cf. 1 Peter 3:15).
