Many wix from cultures across Europe and their descendants continue
the tradition of wearing veils in mourning. The veil is representative
of the literal Veil, which divides this dimension from that of the dead,
separating wix from their loved ones until they, too, pass to the other
side of the Veil in death.

ONE LIGHT
What are “I” and “You”?
Just lattices
In the niches of a lamp
Through which the One Light radiates.
“I” and “You” are the veil
Between heaven and earth;
Lift this veil and you will see
How all sects and religions are one.
Lift this veil and you will ask –
When “I” and “You” do not exist
What is mosque?
What is synagogue?
What is fire temple?
–Mahmud Shabistari, 14th century
Original Language Persian/Farsi. Translation by Andrew Harvey.

Christ’s face engraved in a single spiral line: Claude Mellan, “The Sudarium, or Veil of St Veronica,” engraving, France, 1649.
In a single line and starting from the tip of Jesus’ nose, Mellan has engraved the entire face, the folded veil, and the lettering below. The modulations in direction, from thick to thin, model the image in chiaroscuro (light and dark). Thus the shapes and volume of the engraving are achieved. [text via British Museum]

The most striking attribute of the Tuareg is the indigo veil, worn by the men but not the women, giving rise to the popular name “the Blue Men of the Sahara”, or “Men of the Veil”.
“The fact is still this - No one ever came to rescue me from the infinite black veil that I have lived under.”
