Priests Garments

Well one thing i'm looking forward to when i one day become a priest is that every mass  I get a "color day" Green -my favorite color-, Purple, red, white, more purple, and more green. ( i like the even more green part)I remember from when i was young and i use to be all excited about what color the priest would wear that mass But, as fascinating has the colors are they show meaning and add some sincere to a mass.So now has we enter into a different colour besides green we should start OUR Advent life and welcoming God i nour hearts a place where he can stay and be born into eternal life.

It as really changed of what priest wear at a mass. From the time of Aaron and Moses getting the instructions of what to wear.

Well today we know what a priest wears.... A Robe, A stole. then a chasuble. Very simple and very unique.

But, has "normal" God is he likes to make things really complicated.

 These passages are from Exodus 28: 1-14

Tell them to make a breastpices, an ephod, a robe, and a embroidered shirt, a turban, and a sash. The workers are to use blue, purple, and red wool, gold thread and fine linen. They are to make the ephod of blue, purple and gold thread, and fine linen and decorated with embroidery. Two shoulder straps in which it can be fastened, are to be attached to the sides. A finely woven belt made of the same materials is to be attached to the ephod so as to form on piece with it. Take two carnelian stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob, and the mount the the stones in gold settings. Put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod to represent  the twelve tribes of Israel. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders, so that I the LORD , will always remember my people.

All hand sewn... lots to be sewn by the special workers God gave them. This is much different from what we have today! The only similarity is the Robe.... Different color though...... it was blue and now are 

white. Notice the center breast piece with the finest stones attached to the ephod. Also notice the blue Robe with Gold embroidering. Then also look at the fine turban. With the Gold plate on the bottom of hit saying" DEDICATED TO THE LORD " Also notice the fine and nice shoulder strap to hold it front to back.
