LITURGICAL YEAR Advent (4) Christmas 1 & Christmas 2 (2) Epiphany (4) 4 Sundays before Lent (4) Lent (6) Easter Sunday Eastertide (7 which lasts until the Sunday after Ascension) The Day of Pentecost Trinity Sunday Sundays after Pentecost (or Sundays after Trinity) Kingdom Season (4) Advent 3 and Lent 4 we can use Rose (Pink) because these we celebrate Mothering Sunday (Laetare Sunday or Rejoice Sunday and Gaudete or as Pope Francis once called it Sunday of Joy. We usually celebrate Mary, Mother of Jesus on Gaudete Sunday.
3 Colours Green Green is the default colour. Green is the colour of vegetation;therefore, it is the colour of life. Green is the colour for the Season of Epiphany and the Season After Pentecost. These two seasons are also called Ordinary Time because the Sundays have no names, just ordinal numbers. Purple In antiquity, purple dye was very expensive, so purple came to signify wealth, power, and royalty. Therefore, purple is the colour for the seasons of Advent and Lent, which celebrate the coming of the King. Since as Christians we prepare for our King through reflection and repentance, purple has also become a penitential colour. White Angels announced Jesus birth (Luke 2:8-15) and His Resurrection (Luke 24:1-8). The New Testament consistently uses white to describe angels and the risen Lord (see Matthew 17:2 and 28:3, Mark 9:3 and 16:5, John 20:12, Acts 1:10, and throughout Revelation.) In the ancient Church, people were given white robes as soon as they emerged from the waters of baptism. Therefore, white is the colour for the seasons of Easter and Christmas. White is the colour for funerals, since it is the colour of the Resurrection, for weddings, regardless of the season, and for secular holidays that are observed in the church. Red Red is the colour of blood, and therefore also of martyrdom. Red is the colour for any service that commemorates the death of a martyr. Red is the colour for Pentecost Sunday and for ordinations and installations, because it is the colour of fire and therefore also of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:3). CLOTHING / VESTMENTS Vestment is the term for special clothing worn by the people who conduct a worship service. Vestments have their origin in the ordinary street clothes of the first century, but have more or less remained the same even though clothing fashions have changed somewhat. Today, vestments are designed to be worn over street clothes and serve a
4 number of practical purposes: they neutralise street clothing and state that the ministers are not acting on their own, but performing in their official capacities. Alb An Alb, is a plain, lightweight, ankle-length tunic with long sleeves. The word Alb is short for the Latin phrase tunica alba, which means white tunic; In the first century, the tunic was the first article of clothing that you put on in the morning. Working-class people wore knee-length tunics, while older people and people with less active occupations wore ankle-length tunics. Anyone who has a leadership role in worship can wear an Alb whether they are clergy or lay people (e.g.eucharisticassistants) However Only clergy wear a stole over the alb. Stole Some say similar to the Jewish prayer mantle (tallit) Some say napkin used by Christ to was the disciples feet and is therefore a sign of service Most likely mark of imperial office in the Roman Empire as clergy were assimilated into Romanhierarchy and administration... so more a symbol of power than servanthood! Modern stoles are usually the appropriate colour for the season. Only ordained clergy wear a stole. A deacon can also wear a stole, but it is customary for a deacon to wear it over the left shoulder, tied at the waist on the right side, so that the stole hangs diagonally across the chest. Chasuble A chasuble, called a phelonion in Orthodox churches today, was originally worn as a coat by both sexes. Today it denotes solemnity and formality. The chasuble can be worn by the celebrant, or priest leading the service, during a Eucharistic service. Traditionally the chasuble is supposed to represent a martyr and the early martyrs wore garments like a chasuble - though much less ornate - when they were about to have their heads cut off. Cassock Black conformity and neutralizing of self they are not classed as
5 vestments but meant to be an undergarment for clerical wear which would normally be an Alb or a surplice. However, many clerics now wear a cassock Alb which combines the function of a cassock and the white surplice. Surplice (or shorter Cotta meaning cut off ) Originally to the feet it originated in England or France before spreading to Italy where it began to become shorter. Symbolic of the white garment placed on a child at baptism and represents purity. Girdle / Cincture The girdle, for men, symbolizes preparation and readiness to serve, and for women, represents chastity and protection!! WHAT IS ON THE ALTAR? Ciborium A ciborium looks like a chalice with a lid. It is used to store the bread for Communion. Chalice - A chalice is a drinking cup or a drinking bowl. Chalices are generally made of silver, gold, or ceramics. The chalice can be used two ways in the Eucharist. Either everyone drinks from it, in which case it is called taking Communion from a common cup, or worshippers dip the bread into the cup, in which case it is called Communion by intinction. (Intinction is just a fancy word for dipping.) Chalice Pall The chalice pall is a square cloth, usually seven by seven inches, with a cardboard or plastic stiffener. It is called a pall because it has the same function as a funeral pall. It protects the bread and wine from insects. Chalice Veil The chalice veil is optional. It is a large square cloth, sometimes the colour of the liturgical season and it sometimes has an embroidered or appropriate symbol on it. It is draped over all the elements so that the symbol faces the congregation. Corporal The corporal is a square cloth that goes under the chalice. The word corporal comes from the Latin word corpus meaning body.
6 Usually, after someone has sipped from the wine it is wiped by a cloth called a Purificator. The purificator serves as a napkin to purify the chalice before the next person receives. WHY IS HE WASHING HIS HANDS? (LAVABO) Some priests will wash their hands before handling the bread and wine and some again afterwards. This is a gesture of cleansing so that any sins of the priest do not contaminate the rest of the congregation. Cencing Thurible to purify the altar / priest to symbolise the prayers of the people carried heavenward
