Vestments: Who Wears What?
Vestments are not costumes. Each one tells you who the minister is and what he does. Once students can recognize them, every Mass and ordination becomes easier to read.
Explore the idea
Select a vestment, then choose its description. If possible, show photos of an ordination or a papal Mass afterward.
