What Is Chasuble in the Bible?
Object
The long, sleeveless garment the priest wears on top to celebrate Mass. Its color changes with the season.
It can mean
- On top of what: it is worn over the alb and the stole.
- Its colors: white at Easter and Christmas. Red for the Passion and on the feasts of martyrs. Green in Ordinary Time. Violet in Advent and Lent.
- Rose: it may be worn on the Third Sunday of Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
- The deacon: does not wear a chasuble. His vestment is the dalmatic.
