Hmm, I think there are quotes of the old testament where women were veild, but I have seen more evidence for it in the new testament.

It also seems to stem down from tradion of those areas, which some could argue have been passed down since those days.
 
From my understanding of Christianity (Mostly limited to Catholic and Eastern Orthodox) a woman is to be veiled and her head covered before entering a Church, atlthough a woman is not to be kept out simply because she fails to do so.

Hmmm.. so Christian women in the west do not cover their heads while praying? very strange. The Christian women here always cover their heads when they pray. :rollseyes

Sounds to me like an act of shirk. Very similiar to the "dargas" some muslims visit, though not exactly the same. Which muslim countrues have these 'shrines' anyway?

Keep in mind Catholochism and Orthodox Christian churches also follow the Church Canons in addition to the bible.
 
I've been to several famous Chinese temples in Penang, kinda exciting, especially the Snake temple.
I've been to Thai Buddhist Wat, to a Methodist Church and Jewish cemeteries.
