ritual garments
Sacred clothing worn
Ritual garments are clothing worn for religious ceremonies, spiritual practices, or formal rites.
The term covers priestly vestments, ceremonial robes, and sacred attire across traditions—from a rabbi's tallit to a priest's cassock to a shaman's regalia.
The garments typically hold symbolic meaning and are reserved for specific occasions: The ritual garments were brought out only for the solstice ceremony.
