Description:

The Chasuble is the outer-most vestment worn by bishops and priests at Mass. The
original form of this vestment was a perfectly round, pancho-like garment, with a hole
in the center through which the head would pass. This vestment was large enough to cover
the entire body. The name derives from the Latin word casula, meaning little house.
During the Medieval period, the chasuble became shorter at the sides. Eventually it was
clipped, altered, and at the same time stiffened with buckram.
