This Hebrew noun occurs 30 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible (饾暩), and refers not only to the robe of the high priest but also any robe worn over a tunic by men of rank, such as the robe Jonathan gave to David, or his mantle which Job tore in desperation, and also the outer cloak of women, such as the robe worn by David's daughters.
The vestments that were unique to the high priest were the priestly robe, ephod (vest or apron), priestly breastplate, and priestly golden head plate. In addition to the above "golden garments", the high priest also had a set of white "linen garments" (bigdei ha-bad) which he wore only on Yom Kippur for the Yom Kippur Temple service. [20]
Cloth belt worn by priests and bishops over the epitrachelion. Corresponds to the Western cincture (see above). Phelonion (Greek φαιλ蠈νιον or φελ蠈νιον) Large conical sleeveless garment worn by priests over all other vestments, with the front largely cut away to free the hands.
Originally, these robes were made of cast-off or donated material because monks lived ascetic lifestyles. [1] The dyes were used to distinguish their common clothing from other people. [2] In Sanskrit and Pali, these robes are also given the more general term c墨vara, which references the robes without regard to color.
It is distinct from vestments in that it is not reserved specifically for use in the liturgy. Practices vary: clerical clothing is sometimes worn under vestments, and sometimes as the everyday clothing or street wear of a priest, minister, or other clergy member. Eastern Orthodox clerical clothing is a subset of a monk's habit.
Artist's conception of Jewish high priest wearing a hoshen in ancient Judah. According to the Biblical description, the twelve jewels in the breastplate were each to be made from specific minerals, none identical to another, and each of them representative of a specific tribe, whose name was to be inscribed on the stone.
The priestly undergarments (Biblical Hebrew: 诪执讻职谞职住值讬志讘指讚, romanized: mi岣祅蓹s膿-岣嚹佱笍) were "linen breeches" worn by the priests and the High Priest in ancient Israel. They reached from the waist to the knees and so were not visible, being entirely hidden by the priestly tunic.
Pontifical vestments, also referred to as episcopal vestments or pontificals, are the liturgical vestments worn by bishops (and by concession some other prelates) in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, and some Lutheran churches, in addition to the usual priestly vestments for the celebration of the Holy Mass, other sacraments, sacramentals, and canonical hours.
