Christian Vestments
Christian vestments are special garments worn by clergy during religious services. These garments vary by denomination and tradition but often include items like the alb, a long white robe symbolizing purity, and the chasuble, a colorful outer garment worn over the alb during the Eucharist. Each vestment has its own significance and is often made from rich fabrics.
The use of vestments dates back to early Christianity and reflects the sacred nature of worship. Different colors, such as purple for Lent and white for Easter, are used to represent various seasons and themes in the liturgical calendar. These garments help create a reverent atmosphere during worship.
