First Sunday


We go to Second Baptist Church in Seguin and on the first Sunday, there is communion. The deacons of the church help the Pastor with it and here we have the deaconesses, members and wives of the deacons. I love to see them in their white. Currently I am trying to find out the significance of the white covering they have on their heads. Someone asked me about it but I didn't know either.

I'll guess that white symbolizes purity and innocence in the love of Christ.

So let me know if I am right.

Lovely shot. I remember in the 60's women and girls had to wear lacy veils, white or black, during mass. That changed, possibly after Vatican II. Back then men sat on the right half of the church, women left.
