Why are the Sisters veils of different colors?

0

Women received as religious Novices wear white veils, to indicate their status a Novice; when they take their vows as First (or Junior) Professed, they receive a black veil. At Life (or Solemn) Profession, the Sisters add white trim to their habit and a white headband to the veil (see our pictures of the Sisters).
