Mantilla
A mantilla is a lace or silk veil or shawl worn over the head and shoulders, often over a high comb called a ''peineta'', popular with women in Spain.〔''The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language''; 4th edition. 2000〕 It is now particularly associated as a pious religious practice among women in the Roman Catholic Church, worn as a Christian headcovering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-04-26 )〕
==History==
The lightweight ornamental mantilla came into use in the warmer regions of Spain towards the end of the 16th century, and ones made of lace became popular with women in the 17th and 18th centuries, being depicted in portraits by Diego Velázquez and Goya. In the 19th century, Queen Isabella II actively encouraged its use. The practice diminished after her abdication in 1870, and by 1900 the use of the mantilla became largely limited to formal occasions such as bullfights, Holy Week and weddings.
Some sources say they were originally worn by women of the Andalusia region of Spain, possibly due to influences from Muslim women from nearby North Africa. As Spaniards settled in Mexico and South and Central America, they brought their traditional cultural custom of wearing the mantilla to Latin America.
In Spain, women still wear mantillas during Holy Week (the week leading to Easter), bullfights and weddings. Also a black mantilla is traditionally worn when a woman has an audience with the Pope and a white mantilla is appropriate for a church wedding, but can be worn at other ceremony occasions as well.
