Alb

Alb, the name given to a long vestment of white linen worn by officiating priests in the Roman Catholic Church. It reaches to the feet, and has sleeves which reach to the wrist. It was used formerly by those who had been newly baptised, whence the first Sunday after Easter, when they wore it, was called Dominica in albis.
