The term 'priestly garment' refers to the vestments worn by priests during religious ceremonies. These garments include the VESTMENT (8 letters), ALB (3 letters), and chasuble (8 letters). The VESTMENT is a long, sleeveless robe that is usually white or cream-colored. The ALB is a white, ankle-length tunic with long sleeves. The chasuble is a large, circular cloak that is worn over the ALB and is often decorated with symbols of the faith. Together, these garments are worn by priests to signify their spiritual authority and to show respect for the sacredness of the ceremony.
