I agree to your point... It motivates people to visit god's place well dressed as if It's pride to be with god almighty... Another logical point what I felt about getting fashionable is-we dress up the most beautiful way to the place where we love to be otherwise we don't.. So many positive thoughts...

Yes, he has to stay pretty. One cannot just become a fashion nerd for the Lord. "Love thy neighbour as thou love thyself" - If one does not love himself, then he loses the ability to love others.

Are you from the Philippines? I'm from the Philippines too and didn't know about the colored vestments

In 1967, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments removed the maniple from the list of vestments to be worn at mass. The 1969 General Instruction of the Roman Missal does not list the maniple, but clergy authorized to use the 1962 missal may still use it. As for why the maniple was removed from the list of obligatory vestments, I have no idea.

Its still used in Latin/Tridentine mass

No mass is celebrated on Good Friday, thus no chasuble.

On the contrary. Despite there technically being no Mass celebrated on Good Friday, part of the liturgy of that day used to be called "Mass of the Pre-sanctified". During which liturgy Holy Communion is administered from the Blessed Sacrament reserved from the Maundy Thursday Mass. The chasuble is indeed worn, the colour of which since the reform of the Holy Week liturgies is red.

@@theoffice6015 I was looking forward to this answer... 😀

Red is worn on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, as well as on Feast Days of Martyrs, because the color, red, symbolizes blood (i.e., Jesus's Passion). It also symbolizes fire, as it is also worn on Pentecost. Black vestments are specifically for Funeral/Requiem Masses and All Souls' Day (Even then, the priest can wear white or purple, on such days). Black is an optional color, unfortunately.

You can wear the cassock under the alb, rather than shirt and trousers. Priests typically wear the alb and stole if concelebrating and if the situation requires (such as when travelling or away from Church or if its a weekday low mass)

Yes, priests wear cassocks.

Vic Reece I think it means the holy trinity, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

It's meant to be a cross.

The decoration is known as an Orphery in needlework.

No and no

1. No, they're always worn the same colour. 2. No, rose is only worn twice in a year (3rd Sunday of advent, and 4th Sunday of Lent)

Gaudete Sunday is the 3rd Sunday of Advent Laetare (not Laudate, as the priest erroneously stated) is the 4th Sunday in Lent. Gaudete means "be joyful" Laetare means "light up", which is intended to keep people's faith and interest going during the hardships of Lent. So there was a perceived need to 'lighten up' the strictures of the Lenten observances of Fasting and Abstinence. It's a forward looking Sunday, keeping you pointed toward the coming of Easter in three weeks. (Because you still have Lent 5, Palm (Passion) Sunday, and then Easter at last.

Thanks

I think it is still being used in Latins too... So it's going to be world wide

Bishops,archbishops, and monsigniors wear purple zuccheto. cardinals wear red. their episcopal rings are different too

In secular society they wear different clothing usually and in liturgy it's usually the zuchetto (cap).

It stands for Jesus hominum salvator... Jesus saviour of mankind

Next time when you get conflicting answers... Please don't get disappointed... There is 1% chance of priests going wrong about what they learned but not so often... Both are right I got it from Wikipedia... simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram_IHS It says... "In the Western culture there exist the compositions: "IHS" and also "IHC" being the first letters (iota-eta-sigma) of the name Jesus in Greek alphabet: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Ίησοῦς or ΙΗϹΟΥϹ with lunated sigma). The abbreviation in form "IHS" appeared in first time on the coins of Justinian II on the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries. The order of Jesuits, in other words the Society of Jesus (Societas Iesu), adopted IHSas its fixed emblem - the symbol in 17th century. There appeared also Latininterpretations of the abbreviation IHS, among others: Iesus Humilis Societas - Humble Society of Jesus,Iesus Hominum Salvator - Jesus, Savior of men, and also: In hoc signo (vinces) - In this sign (you will win). These developed inscriptions were most likely formed because in the Middle Ages people mistakenly read the letter E as H. ... I hope you are alright now... Stay blessed...

Roman

Roman Catholic.

That is actually a "backronym," an invented meaning that is not historical. The Christogram "IHS" comes that the Latinization of the first three letters of "Jesus" in Greek: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ. See: www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/ihs and newtheologicalmovement.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-does-ihs-stand-for-meaning-of-holy.html

Seems like we all are on the same page... All meanings right because it was used in different ways in different time period... Stay blessed.. Check this out: simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram_IHS

He's kissing the cross which is at the back of the stole.

If u are a very spiritual person, then I would say it's just one of the way that one try to express their respect to god almighty and hearty gratitude to making the priest worthy to wear it and continue to serve him... I'm not sure if there's any more explanation to it...
