Dad's wardrobe (33 photos)

In its original form, clerical clothing appeared in the 6th century. At that time, such clothing for the clergy was necessary simply so that priests could be distinguished from other people. And the modern clothing of Catholic priests, as well as the most important Catholic in the world - the Pope - was formed by the 17th century. The first clothing of the Popes differed from the clothing of the rest of the clergy and even secular people. After all, the Pope is the head of the Holy See.

Literally - "Roman hat" - a round headdress with wide brims, which is worn by the Catholic clergy. The hat has no ceremonial significance and performs utilitarian functions. The second name - Saturno - the headdress received due to its external resemblance to the planet Saturn.

The crossed keys symbolically represent the keys of Simon Peter. The keys are gold and silver, representing the power to bind (silver) and loose (gold) given to the Church. The triple crown (tiara) represents the three functions of the Pope as "supreme shepherd", "supreme teacher" and "high priest".

12. Alba

A long white liturgical garment of the Catholic and Lutheran clergy, belted with a rope. It is obligatory for a priest to wear it when performing the liturgy. The alba is made of thin linen, cotton or woolen fabric. This garment comes from an ancient Roman long shirt that was worn under a tunic.

15. Perfume

Benedict XVI had a personalized cologne, the scent of which was created by Silvana Casoli.

In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI also acquired a personal perfume from Silvana Casoli. "I decided that the scent should combine something clean and light. I thought about the scents that the Pope smells when he prays in the garden," Silvana said. The recipe for this pious composition is kept secret, but it is known that it contains notes of linden, verbena and fresh green grass. By the way, this is not the first time that the Catholic Church has inspired Silvana: there are two fragrances for priests called “Water of Faith” (Acqua della Fede) and “Water of Hope” (Acqua della Speranza).





Silvana Casoli.

16. Papal red shoes

A stola is an element of the liturgical vestments of a Catholic priest. A silk ribbon about 2 meters long with crosses sewn on the ends and in the middle. The color varies depending on the time of the church year.



Pallium - an element of the liturgical vestments of the Pope and metropolitans of the Latin rite of the Catholic Church. It is a narrow ribbon of white sheep's wool with six black, red or purple crosses embroidered on it. The pallium has six dark crosses embroidered on it, three of which have gold pins stuck into them, symbolizing the three nails with which Jesus was crucified.



The traditional workshop for sewing clothes for the Pope is considered to be the Ditta Annibale Gammarelli studio, which has been operating since 1798. Until 1962, Gammarelli production had the exclusive right to sew clothes for the Pope, which was then abolished.

Currently, the Gammarelli workshop is run by hereditary tailor Lorenzo Gammarelli together with two cousins ​​- Massimiliano and Stefano. The workshop employs only nine seamstresses, two secretaries for processing orders, a courier and administrators. As Lorenzo explained, the popes never come to the workshop themselves to order clothes and take measurements: If the pope needs a new cassock, his secretary calls and sets a day when we can come to the Vatican and take measurements. No head of the Catholic Church has ever visited the studio...







As you can see, the Pope's wardrobe is quite extensive...

Finally... These are not clowns, these are the Pope's security. The wardrobe is also the envy of all.
