Tunicled acoyltes (wearing albs) on greater feasts was quite common praxis in the pre-Trent rites.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-83463037825906992542010-08-11T03:12:23.405+01:002010-08-11T03:12:23.405+01:00Dominic Mary,

Sacristans usually wore the Roman cassock. Seminarians serving as acolytes choose the normal surplice (without lace) but with some embroidery. Cathedral and parish church acolytes tend to wear more lace. Now, the shift is to more protestant style vestments such as slacks and a modified white dress shirt.

When acolytes wear tunicles, as was done in our English Uses, and is still done in some parts of the world like the Philippines they clearly wear albs too.<br /><br />Apparelled albs certainly look more attractive IMHO than cottas.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-27426928354506113262010-08-10T12:23:13.504+01:002010-08-10T12:23:13.504+01:00I hate to point that by no means all of Fr Fortesc...I hate to point that by no means all of Fr Fortescue's servers are wearing 'the traditional Surplice'; the majority of the adults are in fact wearing the French-style, tie-neck, cotta.<br /><br />. . . and Joe; servers wearing albs are by no means 'proper' . . . unless you happen to be an Anglican disciple of Dr Dearmer, of course !Dominic Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514722976964423091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192580971664762668.post-1179843907732153622010-08-09T21:17:49.061+01:002010-08-09T21:17:49.061+01:00Almost none.
