Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is for anyone curious about the history of religious vestments, with a special focus on the origins and development of Christian priestly attire. The author draws from many sources, including ancient artwork and the writings of early theologians, to create a picture of how the distinctive clothing we see today came to be. We learn that, contrary to later belief, early Christian garments were not influenced by the elaborate vestments of Jewish priests. Instead, they were simple tunics and cloaks in keeping with the fashion of the time, often in white, a color associated with purity and celebration. As Christianity spread, however, its vestments began to take on more distinctive forms and colors, with differences between East and West that can still be seen today. An authoritative look at a fascinating subject, this book belongs on the shelves of anyone who wants to understand the rich history of religious ceremonies.
