Vestment, the
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
a term usually applied to the chasuble, which is the eucharistic vestment, and is used in the same manner as the expression the sacrament in reference to the Lord's supper. In mediaeval times, however, it included a complete set of eucharistic vestments — viz.; chasuble, amice, stole, and maniple. (See VESTMENTS).
