What is chasuble?

A chasuble is a sleeveless outer vestment worn by clergy during religious ceremonies in the Christian tradition. It is typically worn over a cassock and stole, and is often decorated with intricate designs, symbols, or embroidery. The word "chasuble" comes from the Latin word "casula," which means "little house" or "cottage," as the garment has a shape that resembles a small cape or poncho. Chasubles come in a variety of colors and styles, reflecting the liturgical season or occasion. They are traditionally worn by priests, bishops, and other clergy members during Mass or other sacred rituals.
