dominicansoul Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) 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 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: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_della_Concezione_dei_Cappuccini"]http://en.wikipedia...._dei_Cappuccini[/url] I wouldn't want to go there... but it would make one think....

MissScripture Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 My sister's rosary crucifix has a skull and crossbones at the bottom. And she's pretty Dominican, DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 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!!!

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!

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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 I read somewhere that some of these are gifts from well-meaning parishoners & the priests just kinda go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
