Switch It Up With These Clergy Vestments
So much of the time you see clergymen decked out in traditional Clergy Vestments that are ideally suited to the service at hand. You may be used to hearing names like alb and tippet and seeing priests arrayed in surplices, cassocks, and stoles, all of which carry their own significance among the different sects and for different times in the liturgical calendar.
There certainly are times when you would find nothing more fitting than to see a minister set up in a plain black Roman cassock and cincture before guiding a service. There is little more austere than such a set up, and nothing better to remind the congregation as well as the minister himself that his duties are not only holy. They are also secular, and he is of this world.
Even so, there may be times when you have thought to yourself, the severity of black and other plain colors is not sufficient to reflect the divine inspiration for these services. Similarly, you may have wished that there might be more moving options in Clergy Vestments and robes for your ministers to put to good use.
While it is sometimes fitting to adhere to tradition, straying not to the left hand nor to the right, as the quoted case may be, there are other times when you want the stricken cord to be one of levity and color. There may be times when you want to move the congregation with a sense of uplifting joy and grace, rather than with the serious overtones of dread and awe.
When those times arise, the black cassock and cincture may take a backseat to some of these options, all of which you can conveniently find at Divinity Clergy Wear on their website, DivinityClergyWear.com.
Check out their Gershon Clergy Robe & Stole Set in Black. Yes, this offering does appear in somber colors, but it is embroidered in wonderfully contrasting black to make the most of that jarring yet intriguing effect. Moreover, this set is beautifully brocaded. Both the robe and the stole are elegantly patterned with a pleasant design that is bold enough to play with the light.
If you want a real impression from some brighter colors, don’t miss the chance to see their Men’s Asbury Clergy Robe & Stole Set in Royal Blue and White, which is much brighter and to the point than the last example. In bright, bold, beautiful royal blue, this set of robes makes quite an impression. The white, as in the former example, offers a stark contrast to the blue, although it is not so stark as against the black. With that said, the blue is much brighter than the black and ideal for making a novel impression.
An even better example would take the form of their Men’s Joseph Clergy Robe in Purple and Gold, which is much brighter and more inspiring than other of the two previous offerings. Purple is a color frequently associated with different liturgical vestments and processions, and this set of robe is even more beautifully arrayed with gold accenture along the front. If you need a set of robes to highlight a preacher’s natural light rather than muting it, this might be the way to go.
Then again, you can also find many other sets of robes at DivinityClergyWear.com that present wonderful combinations of white, black, blue, purple, red, gold, and more. Regardless of the appearance you wish to present, there is more than one way to do it with the clergy robes and other vestments you can find at Divinity Clergy Wear.
