Christian clergy attire varies by denomination and tradition but often includes specific garments that signify their role. Common items include the cassock, a long robe worn by clergy, and the stole, a narrow strip of fabric draped around the neck, symbolizing their authority and service. In many traditions, clergy may also wear a chasuble during services, which is a poncho-like garment that represents the priest's role in the Eucharist. Other accessories, such as the alb (a white robe) and surplice (a loose-fitting overgarment), are also used, reflecting the solemnity of their duties.
