priestly garments
Robes for clergy
Priestly garments are the distinctive vestments worn by clergy during religious ceremonies.
The term appears most often in biblical contexts, referring to the elaborate robes, ephods, and breastplates prescribed for Hebrew priests in the Old Testament.
More broadly, it covers any ceremonial clothing that marks someone as authorized to perform sacred rites: The priest donned his priestly garments before mass.
