The chasuble, stole and maniple conform to the liturgical colour of the day, which varies according to the feast. |
In the legion, the velites were attached to each maniple of hastati, principes and triarii. |
They go from the chasuble, wide stole, and maniple of his early priesthood to a succession of increasingly simple garments until they arrive at an academic gown. |
If you can't find your rochet from your chimere, a tunicle from a maniple, or just love a good linguistic ramble, this is the place for you. |
During the liturgical changes after the Council, the maniple became optional. |
Worn since the 6th century by Priests and Deacons in Ravenna, the maniple was incorporated throughout Wesern Europe within 400 years. |
