A chasuble is a type of liturgical vestment worn by priests during Christian religious services, particularly in the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions. It is typically made of rich fabrics and comes in various colors that correspond to the church calendar, symbolizing different seasons and occasions. The chasuble is worn over other garments, such as the alb and stole, and is designed to be loose-fitting, allowing for ease of movement during the celebration of the Eucharist. Its origins date back to the early centuries of Christianity, evolving from a practical garment into a significant symbol of the priest's role in worship.
