The priest costume is a uniform of the sacred office and a symbol of the priest's kingly status. It should effectively obliterate the priest's individuality and call attention to Christ in his person. It should not be flamboyant or showy, nor should it boast the skills of its designer or seamstress. Its beauty should be shown through quality materials and craftsmanship. The robes are not for the priest's personal glory, but for the glory of God.The alb is the first of these vestments, usually white but can be the color of the day or liturgical season. It is worn over the priest's street clothing and secured around the neck with two cloth ribbons. The cincture is an additional piece of cloth hung from the neck over the alb and can be white, violet, or black. The stole is a long narrow strip of cloth worn around the neck and down the front of the body over the alb, evoking the cloth that Pilate wrapped around Jesus Christ at his crucifixion. It can be white, violet, or black and indicates the priest's ordination.In some traditions, the cassock and shaker are worn over the cincture and the other robes for different divine services, but at Mass they are all worn together. The cassock is a black garment similar to a polo shirt and has a stand-up collar. The Bulgarian shaker is a hybrid of Russian and Greek style with wide sleeves, a bulgar collar, and floor-length. Both the cassock and the Bulgarian shaker have pockets. Priest And Nun Costume are intended to be the innermost symbol of the spiritual and intellectual renunciation and peace of the priest in his earthly life. The draping form of these garments also expresses the idea that the Eucharist is celebrated in "persona Christi", that is, in the name of Jesus Christ.For this look, wear a black button down shirt with the collar folded under and tuck it in. Add a cross that you can hang from your neck. Then, tuck a poster board priest collar underneath the shirt's collar and secure it with an elastic band. Complete the outfit with a suit jacket and black pants. This costume will have you saying amen at your next Halloween or masquerade party! Just don't forget to bring the communion wafers. You'll have the crowds lining up to get their wafers from you!
