Covering one's face during Birkat Kohanim

Hi,

There is no obligation for people to cover their eyes or faces when hearing Birkat Kohanim; they cannot see the hands of the kohanim in any case, for the kohanim cover their hands. However, this is a good practice.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:24:4)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
