This practice turned into a tradition applied to the burial of monks and priests with the exception that the face of a monk is wrapped with a special cloth as a sign that the monastic has voluntarily chosen to leave the world. At the same time the face of a priest is covered with a veil, with which is the same veil that covers the chalice and diskos with the Holy Sacraments and shows that he celebrated the sacred mysteries. What is more, the Lord’s face on the Holy Shroud, which is placed in the church on Great Friday, is also covered with a veil.
