- The cassock: A long, ankle-length garment that was typically black in color.
- The surplice: A white, loose-fitting garment that was worn over the cassock.
- The stole: A long, narrow band of fabric that was worn around the neck and draped over the shoulders.
- The chasuble: A large, sleeveless cloak that was worn over the other vestments during Mass.
- The biretta: A square, stiff cap that was worn on the head.
The specific vestments worn by a priest could vary depending on the occasion and the liturgical season. For example, during ordinary Masses, priests would typically wear the cassock, surplice, and stole. During more solemn occasions, such as Easter or Christmas, priests would typically wear the chasuble in addition to the other vestments.
The wearing of these vestments was seen as a way for priests to show their reverence for God and for the sacraments that they celebrated. It also served to distinguish them from other members of the clergy and from the laity.
