Anotations

Scope note:

Coverings and curtains, usually black in color, placed over sculptures, paintings, mirrors, and other elements at an altar or elsewhere in a church, or in another public or private building; used to signify mourning, such as during a requiem service or during a mourning period. For similar coverings designed particularly for the Lenten season, prefer "Lenten veils." For banners used in procession or hung in funerary settings, use "mourning banners."
