The_Eucharist_eBook

The chasuble or vestment: this is a garment worn by the priest over the alb and stole; there are different liturgical colors for the chasuble according to what is being celebrated. The beauty and careful handmade details of the vestments are a sign of the faith and love of the faithful, and they invite us to contemplate the beauty of God who is present in a special way in the Eucharist. The surplice: this is a long white garment, often decorated with lace, that reaches the knee, and has short but wide sleeves. It is worn over a soutane or cassock. It is used also by altar servers when they serve at the altar. 225
