Rest the upper edge on your head for a moment and then place the amice on your shoulders. |
For deacon and subdeacon: amice, alb and cincture, and stole and dalmatic for the deacon, and tunic for the subdeacon. |
I remember Father Young standing before the bureau containing his amice and alb, his rope cincture and chasuble. |
Many of the older religious orders still wear the amice after the fashion which prevailed in the Middle Ages. |
