Dalmatics
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.






























Is there a triregnum there?

Comment by Kimberly — 30 November 2009 @ 7:30 amThat 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.
Comment by dcs — 30 November 2009 @ 10:04 amYes, 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!
