The vestments worn by the priest enhance the beauty of a Catholic religious service. Each has it’s own meaning and history. Although the traditional vestments were designed long ago, the spiritual value remains today. Here are the basic catholic vestments.
The Chasuble is an outer garment that traditionally includes a cross on the back. The word chasuble means “little house” and it gives shelter to the wearer. Under the chasuble is a simple white garment called the Alb. The Alb covers the whole body. Although the color of the chasuble may vary by liturgical season, the Alb is always white and symbolizes purity. The Amice is a shawl that is worn over the shoulders and neck. It traditionally protected the head of clergy from the elements. The Amice is made of fine linen and stands for the helmet of salvation. The Stole represents the spiritual authority of the priest. It is a long thin piece of material worn over the neck and it hangs down on both sides.
The deep religious tradition of Catholic vestments feed the spirit as the service fills the soul.
300,000 Pilgrims Expected in Rome for John Paul II’s Beatification
In a recent statement, The Vatican reported to be expecting an incredible 300,000 pilgrims to head to Rome for the beatification of John Paul II on the 1st May this year.
Officials from the Italian capital are estimating that the cost of the event and dealing with the number of people present will be around the $4.8 million mark.
Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno said in a statement at an international news conference:
“Rome is now being asked to show the World it’s best side for a three day period … the whole city, without exception, is linked to this man, who is seen by us as a father.”
The event is expected to be so popular in Rome that giant screens are being installed in churches throughout the city. In total, event organisers are expected in excess of one million attendees, with numbers being expected to increase due to the Labour Day holiday, which coincides with John Paul II’s beatification.
