BENEDICTINE MONK'S "CUCULLA"
or
FULL MONASTIC CHOIR COWL

known as the vesture of "The Living Rule"

at
Solemn Profession
* the formal "choir" vestment
worn over the basic habit
(See our other items !
at the Divine Office
on Solemnities and Major Feasts

having signified his "dying to the world" in life,
the faithful monk is clothed in this robe
upon death and buried in it
this one is fashioned in the
Beuronese / Einsiedeln
Belgian Congregation style
Each "Congregation" within the Benedictine "Confederation"
has a habit whose design and cut identify it as unique to THAT Congregation

of tunic and scapular (not included)
