Father Don Wooden Stand with Chasubles

A priest wears vestments when he performs his sacred duties. These include when he offers the Holy Mass, when he administers sacraments and at other special times of prayer. The priest’s vestments are like a uniform that indicate he is on duty.

A chasuble is a long outer robe that goes over the priest’s head. The priest wears the chasuble when he celebrates Holy Mass. He wears a different color chasuble for each liturgical season.

In the Church, we mark the changing of the seasons with different colors to help us remember and celebrate Christ’s saving work.

The priest wears a long band of cloth, called a stole, underneath the chasuble as a sign of his office. It is usually the same color as the chasuble.

Each set includes a card explaining what each color means. Great tool for teaching kids the meaning of the chasuble.
