Clerical robes, also known as albs, are garments worn by members of the clergy during religious ceremonies. They are typically white and made of lightweight fabric such as linen or cotton. Albs are usually ankle-length and have long sleeves, and may be decorated with embroidery or other embellishments. Clerical robes are an important part of the traditional dress of many religions, and are often seen in churches, synagogues, and other places of worship.
