THE AMICE.—The amice is a rectangular piece of white linen  (approximately  2  feet  by  3  feet)  with  a  long  ribbon attached to two of the corners (see figure 3-57). The ribbons are used for tying the amice around the shoulders and neck of the priest. The amice was originally used as a hood for cover- ing the head and neck of the wearer and its use by the priest for  Mass  is  optional. Figure 3-57.—The amice. THE  ALB.—The  alb  is  a  full-length  white  linen  garment with   sleeves   (see   figure   3-58).   (The   word   “alb”   means “white.”) THE  CINCTURE.—The  tincture  is  a  long  cord  used  as  a belt to gather the alb at the waist (see figure 3-58). Figure 3-58.—The alb and tincture. THE  STOLE.—The  stole  is  a  long  narrow  band  worn around  the  neck  (see  figure  3-59).  The  stole’s  tie  ends  fall forward  over  the  shoulders  to  the  level  between  the  priest’s waist  and  knees.  The  stole  should  be  the  same  color  as  the chasuble which is worn by the chaplain. Figure 3-59.—The stole. 3-68
