Christian Clerical Attire
Christian clerical attire refers to the specific clothing worn by clergy members during religious services and ceremonies. This attire often includes items such as the cassock, a long robe typically worn by priests, and the stole, a narrow strip of fabric draped around the neck, symbolizing their ordained status. Different denominations may have variations in style and color, reflecting their unique traditions.
In addition to the cassock and stole, clergy may also wear a surplice, a white garment worn over the cassock, especially during liturgical services. Other accessories can include the chalice for communion and the liturgical vestments, which vary according to the church calendar and specific occasions, such as weddings or funerals.
