Alb is a white robe worn by clergy and liturgical ministers in various Christian denominations. It symbolizes purity and is often made of linen or cotton. The alb is typically worn during religious services, including Mass and baptisms, and is usually accompanied by a stole or chasuble. The use of the alb dates back to the early Church, reflecting the attire of the Roman Empire. It is a versatile garment, suitable for both formal and informal worship settings. The alb serves as a reminder of the baptismal garment, emphasizing the call to live a life of holiness and service.
