How people show their beliefs

The niqab - the veil which covers the whole face apart from the eyes. Some women chose to wear it, because they believe that women should cover themselves up in front of men

The niqab is not very common in the UK. Many muslim women to choose to cover themselves with a headscarf - or a hijab

Religious clothes and symbols aren't just a Muslim issue. Many Christians wear a cross around their necks as a symbol of their religion

Most Jewish people cover their heads when they go to a temple as a sign of respect to God. Jewish men cover their heads by wearing a skullcap and some Jewish women cover their heads by wearing a scarf, a hat or a wig

Lots of Sikh men wear turbans because their religion doesn't allow them to cut their hair. Sikh women aren't allowed to cut their hair either - and they always cover their heads when going to the temple too
