[b]Not so sure about these, either.... I get the imagery, but... just not sure. Gorgeous vestments, however![/b]

Those would only be worn on All Souls Day, I believe. Our priest told us on All Souls Day that it was the only day that the vestments worn are black, I think.

I believe black vestments used to be worn at funeral Masses... although those are a little too morbid for my taste... (must be a carmelite thing--- all those skulls on it..)


in fact, i believe Latin funeral Masses require black vestments...

HI, Ms Scripture (and Dominican Soul - posted this not realizing you were doing it as well!) Brilliant minds!

I know... I figured it was for All Souls.... and long ago they sometimes were worn for requiem masses as well...

NOt sure it is Carmelite - looks like a black & white Dominican vestment to me :unsure:

I am just not so sure about the skulls and bones motif....but it just isn't my spirtuality... but I know it works for some people. Kind of like the Franciscan Friars' church in Rome:

I wouldn't want to go there... but it would make one think....

:) well, i just know that for a while there, carmelites had a skull in every cell.... in fact, I don't know if its true or not, but in the movie about St. Teresa of Avila, there's this one scene where she drinks out of a skull...


definitely not my spirituality at all!!!

They do. If anyone can get their hands on [i]My Catholic Faith[/i] (a book from around the 30s/40s) get it. It's very razzle dazzle to see the old vestments and such in it!

who's taking these pics? I mean, are these bishops/religious/clergy men really posing for a "bad vestments blog?" :P

I sure hope so! Or it's annoyed pastoral assistants/secretaries/housekeepers. They could use it as a threat: "Father, if you don't stop using that awful incense, I"m telling the world how awful your vestments are!"

I read somewhere that some of these are gifts from well-meaning parishoners & the priests just kinda go with it. :hehe:

I can just see it in the church bulletin: competition to design the new vestments, open to anyone 7 and under.
