Our „liturgical vestments“ aren´t real vestments. It´s the good old preaching gown with geneva-strips.

Although many people nowadays regard that garb as vestments with a deeper liturgical meaning.
It´s not liturgic. It has an academic background.
Basta.
Altough albs and stoles are allowed in my (lutheran!) church and get more and more common.
I don´t know if I´d wear alb and stole if I had one- that´s currently out of question because it´s a matter of money.
But I surely learned about the long tradition of liturgical vestments in some denominations. And I must say, some are really beautiful.
But, thanks to Peacebang, I came across some other vestments. Which are uggggggggly. Which shouldn´t be worn. Because they are distracting. They are liturgical fahion no gos.
No. Don´t eva wear them. Nononono!
This way for some amusement.
My „favourite“
