Liturgical dress

The basic liturgical dress for the ordained minister is the "Alba" white tunic, which will attempt to give an aesthetic form, so that "Amito" not require "Cingulo".

On the morning put Ordained Ministers the Stole. That strip of different colors (its name comes from the Greek "stolizo" garnish) that are placed in the Deacons cross, while the Priests and bishops do hanging on both sides of the neck, also the Estola tends to be more dignified matter and aesthetics for cases increasing numbers, which concluded without  "Casulla" (Deacons, celebrants.)

In addition to the "Alba" and "Estola", the priest or bishop who presides over the Eucharist "Casulla" is coated your name already indicates that it is a kind of "small house", as a large blanket that covers the person (as the "Poncho" Current American). The chasuble is the liturgical garment that has come to characterize especially the Eucharistic celebration. While it is losing the "Dalmatian" (which would be like a chasuble with sleeves) worn by the deacons.
