Dalmatic
The chasuble, and also the dalmatic and tunicle, are often of silk, of the color of the season; but the custom of wearing only white linen vestments prevails in many churches.
"The following somewhat fanciful meanings, among various others, have been applied to the vestments: the alb is said to signify the white robe which Herod placed upon our Saviour; the amice, the cloth with which He was blindfolded by the Jews; the stole, maniple, and girdle, the cords which bound Him, and the chasuble, the purple robe of scorn.
"They are also said to represent certain Christian graces. The amice, passed over the head, signifies hope, the helmet of salvation; the alb, purity; the maniple, patience in the bonds of suffering; the stole, submission to the yoke of Christ, the chasuble, charity."
"The Cope is a large semicircular cloak of silk or other stuff, fastened in front by a clasp called a 'morse.' It is generally richly embroidered. The length extends in the back to the feet, but it is open in front, leaving the arms free. The cope is worn by priests in solemn processions. It is not a Eucharistic vestment and does not displace the chasuble at Celebrations. It is a symbol of rule, and is appropriate to Bishops and others in authority. It is worn over the alb or surplice."
The Episcopal habit generally worn seems to have come into use in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Its use rests only upon custom. It consists of "Rochet" and "Chimere." The rochet resembles an alb, but is shorter and without sleeves. It is of lawn or fine linen. The chimere is a dress of black satin, with white lawn sleeves.
The Bishop's Staff is in shape like a shepherd's crook. It is often highly ornamented, and may be adorned on the crook or top with jewels.
The Mitre is a head-covering generally worn by Bishops with the cope.
