What is the symbolism of the colored robe the pastor wears on Sunday?
A. The name for this garment is a “chasuble.” It is a traditional vestment worn by the presiding minister at a service of Holy Communion. The chasuble as a Eucharistic garment for the presiding minister dates at least back to the eighth century. The “full” shape of the chasuble represents God’s abundant grace offered to all people in sacrament of the Eucharist.
