sacred vestments
Holy ceremonial clothing
Sacred vestments are the ceremonial garments worn by clergy during religious services.
In Christian traditions, these include robes, stoles, chasubles, and other items whose colors and styles vary by liturgical season and denomination.
The vestments set apart the officiant as performing a sacred function: The priest donned his sacred vestments before Mass.
