	Vestments - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Liturgical vestments, as their name implies, are those which are especially associated with the various functions of the liturgy.
		In the 9th century appeared the pontifical gloves; in the loth, the mitre; in the 11th, the use of liturgical shoes and stockings was reserved for cardinals and bishops.
		Besides the strictly liturgical vestments there are also numerous articles of costume worn at choir services, in processions, or on ceremonial occasions in everyday life, which have no sacral character; such are the almuce, the cappa and mozzetta (see Cope), the rochet (q.v.), the pileolus, a skullcap, worn also sometimes under mitre and tiara.

	Liturgical Colours
		By a law of her liturgy the Church directs that the vestments worn by her sacred ministers, and the drapery used in the decoration of the altar should correspond in colour to that which is prescribed for the Office of the day.
		The colours thus sanctioned by the Church in connection with her public worship are called the liturgical colours.
		The variety of liturgical colours in the Church arose from the mystical meaning attached to them.

	Liturgical Colours
		The wearing of differing colours for vestments according to the season or feast, familiar to us today, is of late origin and does not appear to have begun until the ninth century at the earliest.
		Parish churches might have followed something of the colour scheme of the cathedral or some other great church, but much would depend in smaller churches on the number of sets (ore suits, as they are usually called in medieval records) of vestments which the local church owned.
		Rose colour (color rosaceus) vestments are prescribed by the Caerimoniale Episcoporum for use in cathedral churches and may be worn elsewhere instead of violet on the third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete) and mid-Lent Sunday (Laetare); on those two Sundays the Pope blessed golden roses for presentation to Catholic queens.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dalmatic
		The dalmatic is the outer liturgical vestment of the deacon.
		Coloured dalmatics were the rule when, about 1200, it was determined what colours should be recognized as liturgical and in consequence their use was definitely regulated.

	The Catholic Liturgical Calendar
		The liturgical year is the temporal structure within which the Church celebrates the holy mysteries of Christ: "From the Incarnation and the Nativity to the Ascension, to Pentecost and to the wait in joyful hope for the Lord's coming".
		The Liturgical Calendar is a tool that kindles the hearts of Catholics so that they will remember God’s marvellous plan of salvation that was accomplished through the birth, life, death and rising of Christ Who once again walks the earth in our time and presence.
		The Liturgical Calendar follows a three year cycle, each year being represented by the letters, A, B and C. During the year A cycle, the Gospel of Matthew is the primary Gospel that is used for the readings.

		The great problem of contemporary liturgical life (apathy towards worship, boredom, lack of vitality and participation) stems from the fact that the celebration has sometimes lost its character as mystery, which fosters the spirit of adoration.
		This liturgical renewal, which is necessary for the present-day life of the Church, does not mean creating new liturgical texts or changing certain rites, but making full use of the great heritage of Tradition, reinterpreted by the Council.

	The New Liturgical Movement: NLM Reprint: On the Use of Black Vestments
		Often fl vestments have been excluded in liturgical practice (though not in liturgical law) -- enough so that there are entire generations who will have never seen a fl vestment worn, let alone know of its existence as a liturgical colour.
		Now let us get it straight: the use of other colours is not a liturgical abuse as these are options which the Church has given.
		Liturgically, there is no impediment to stop a priest from re-introducing fl vestments into the sacred liturgy when the rubrics allow for it -- and this I would heartily recommend to our parish priests here.
