Anotations

Scope note:

Vestments comprising long, oblong veils or shawls used in the Roman rite, worn over the shoulders of the celebrant; generally made of silk. They are most often used during the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The ends of the humeral veil are used to envelop the hands of the celebrant when he holds up the monstrance, as a mark of respect for the sacred vessel. The item grew out of the tradition of sudaria cloths in ancient Rome.
