Three beautiful early 19th century religious Christian choir cap or chasubles for priest, woven with golden metallic wires, and beautiful floral design.These chasubles were used in the church as choir uniforms for special Catholic occasions. Roman style Cope made of a high quality fabric. The cope is finished with a golden fabric tape and fringe. The clasp closing in the front regulates the size on the neck. The choir cap, choir mantle or vesper mantle (in Latin pluviale, cappa or mantum) is a wide liturgical vestment that hangs down to the feet and is worn by clergy.

The choir cap is also worn in that rite when the faithful are sprinkled with holy water during the Asparagus me or the Vidi aquam before the mass of the students of the faith.
