Our friend John Sonnen at Orbis Catholicus has posted a nice photo of one of the purple dalmatics made for the pontificate of Benedict XVI. These are the purple vestments used at Vespers at the beginning of Advent.

Here is a detail.

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z
Is there a triregnum there?
Whaddya know!
I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘t’! :-))))))
Beautiful!
no photo!? :-(
Can’t say it, can’t spell it, but it still makes my knees shake it’s so beautful.
That looks like the corner of the Holy Father’s cope held by the deacon in procession rather than the dalmatic itself.
I would like to see a detail of the Holy Father’s new ferula – it is supposed to have his coat of arms on it.
Yes, that looks more like the cope the Holy Father was wearing.
The coat of arms medallion looks really cool!
And the service was beautiful too-I saw it streamed on EWTN!
