| | Humeral Veil |
 | | Humeral veils for use on festivals are often richly embroidered. |
 | | There is no fl humeral veil, for the reason that at Masses for the dead, as well as on Good Friday, the paten remains on the altar. |
 | | The acolyte continued, even in the later Middle Ages, to use a humeral veil (palliolum, sindon, mantellum) when carrying the paten, and the present Roman custom, according to which the subdeacon is vested in the humeral veil when holding the paten, originated at the close of the Middle Ages. |
