A chasuble is a type of liturgical vestment worn by priests during Christian religious services, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church. It is typically made of rich fabric and comes in various colors, symbolizing different seasons or occasions in the church calendar, such as Advent or Easter. The chasuble is worn over other garments, like the alb and stole, and is designed to be both functional and decorative. The design of the chasuble has evolved over centuries, with its origins tracing back to the Roman poncho-like garment. Today, it is often characterized by its flowing shape and lack of sleeves, allowing for ease of movement during the celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments.
