The Cope of Many
Colors
Silk
Biblically inspired by the life of
Joseph, son of Jacob, and the
account of the many-colored
coat given to him by his father,
Ruth Silver designed and made
this cope and mitre of many
colors as a gift for Bishop
Joseph Garang Atem, Renk
Diocese. The morse on the
cope is from an old cope in
St. Michael’s collection.
Because of the set’s silk
construction, this cope and
mitre are used on visits to
Chicago. Ruth made Bishop
Joseph another set that can
easily be laundered for his use
in Renk.
Ruth has been a member of
St. Michael’s, Barrington,
since 1955.
The Diocese of Renk, South
Sudan, and the Diocese of
Chicago have a Companion
Diocese Relationship, begun in
2001.

LOSSARY
Alb - is a white garment coming down to the ankles and is usually
girdled with a cincture. It is meant to be worn over a cassock, but
often is worn as a cassock-alb.
Amice - The amice consists of a white cloth connected to two long
ribbon-like attachments, by which it is fastened around the shoulders of the priest. While donning the amice, the priest first drapes
the amice over his head (as with a hood), then lowers it to his neck,
tying it around his torso.
Biretta - is a square cap with three or four peaks, surmounted by
a tuft. A priest wears an all-black cap with 3 peaks; the dean,
canon and bishop wear a 4 peaked cap with red trim and tuft for
the dean and purple for the canon and bishop.
Cassock – The cassock is a single-breasted, ankle length black
garment worn over street clothes by laity or over shirt and collar by
clergy. Clergy have the option of wearing a sash when worn as
outerwear (rather than under an alb). The buttons, piping and sash
fringe can be colored according to office.
Chasuble – is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy
for the celebration of the Eucharist. It is worn over the alb and
usually over the stole.
Cincture - a long, rope-like cord with tasseled or knotted ends,
tied around the waist outside the alb.
Cope - a long mantle or cloak, open in front and fastened at the
breast with a band or clasp. It may be of any liturgical color. A cope
may be worn by any rank of the clergy, and also by lay ministers in
certain circumstances. If worn by a bishop, it is generally accompanied by a mitre. The clasp, which is often highly ornamented, is
called a morse.
17
Dalmatic - is a knee length, wide-sleeved tunic, which is worn by
a deacon. Like the chasuble, it is an outer vestment and is supposed
to match the liturgical color of the day. It usually has bands across
the body of the vestment, unlike the more plain tunicle.
Humeral Veil - consists of a piece of cloth draped over the
shoulders and down the front, normally of silk in the seasonal
liturgical color or cloth of gold. At the ends there are sometimes
pockets in the back for hands to go into so that the wearer can
hold items without touching them with the hands. The humeral
veil is used to cover the hands of the priests or deacons so they
do not touch sacred vessels as a mark of respect.
Maniple - is a liturgical vestment made of an embroidered band
of silk or similar fabric that when worn hangs from the left arm.
It often is the same construction as the stole and it is of the same
liturgical color as the other vestments.
Mitre - is the traditional, ceremonial head-dress of bishops.
Stole - The stole is a band of colored cloth, usually silk, about
three to four inches wide, whose ends may be straight or may
broaden out. The center of the stole is worn around the back of
the neck and the two ends hang down parallel to each other in
front. The stole is often decorated in some way with a cross or
some other significant religious design. It is often decorated with
contrasting galloons (ornamental trim) and fringe is often applied
to the ends of the stole.
A deacon’s stole is longer and goes over the left shoulder across
the chest to the right hip. It may fasten at the hip, or hang down
the deacon’s left side, over the left shoulder, across the back looping across the right hip , crossing the chest and finishing down the
left back. Stoles generally follow the liturgical color of the day.
Surplice - The surplice is in the form of a tunic of white linen
or cotton fabric, reaching to the knees, with wide or moderately
wide sleeves.
