Styles of clothing have changed through the centuries. Yet, in every century, those Christians who were committed to a life of radical discipleship to Jesus Christ have always worn modest dress. Here are some examples how modest Christians have dressed and veiled through the ages:
“Let [married women] be fully clothed: by garments on the outside and by modesty on the inside.” Clement of Alexandria
“Let a holy woman, if naturally beautiful, give no one such great occasion for carnal lust. Certainly, if even she is beautiful, she should not show off [her beauty], but should rather obscure it.” Tertullian
