catholic church vestments

I need a list or picture of the ETHIOPIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH vestments for a religion project... (Please not the Ethiopian Orthodox Church- I need the Catholic Church!) Thanks so much! If you have a good website about the Ethiopian Catholic Church (preferably about its Canon, Laws, Theology, liturgical seasons, or the Eucharist, please include a link)

dependent on the season the colours vary, purple for lent or penitent times such as advent,, green for the ordinarydays of the year, red for martyrs. black for good friday, all souls day and funerals,
white for christmas and eastertide.
there are only 5 colours approved by the church.
green,white and red may be replaced by gold on rare masses of solemnity

Shouldn't they be wearing black vestments? Black is representative of mourning and death and they're suppose to be worn at funeral Masses. What's up with the white vestments? Does the Catholic Church no longer teach about sin, penance, purgatory, and hell? Everyone goes to heaven now???

The Black Mass is later.

What pattern was that? and what significance does that hold in the Catholic Church?
skepsis: I was talking about the symbol on the back.

It looked like a phoenix or something.

The liturgical color for All Souls Day is either white or gold, the color of commemorations that are not martyrdoms. There is no specified "pattern". That is a personal choice, a matter of what chasuble is available..

[EDIT] It very well might have been a phoenix, in honor of the resurrection to come. But the emblem is not specified by liturgical norms. It just happens to be one particular chasuble that that priest or parish has on hand. Perhaps it was something like this one?

My nearby Anglican church has a Mass on a Sunday where the priest is robed in Catholic vestments and some of the Eurcharist is in Latin. In fact at certain times of the year the St. Athanuaisian creed is read from the Book of common prayer which says "for a man to be saved it is nessescery for him to believe the Catholic Faith". The word Catholic is in the book hundreds of times but nowhere can Protestant Church be found. I guess the C of E is a watered down version of the Roman Church with the Monarch currently as it's Smpreme Govenor. Agree or disagree?

Protestant. It is a break away from the Catholic church because King Henry VIII couldn't get a divorce via the Pope so he formed his own church and abandoned the Pope and made himself leader of the church.
The king those days could do whatever he liked.
Catholic means universal which is not true of the Catholicism as they have their own variants of the faith also.

RCC Catechism Says... Images increase faith
Verification: Pg. #337, #1192

Sacred images in our churches and homes are intended to awaken and nourish our faith in the mystery of Christ.

RCC Catechism Says... Keep images in your home & church
Verification: Pg. #328, #116

Following the divinely inspired teaching of our holy Fathers and the tradition of the Catholic Church. We rightly define with full certainty and correctness that, like the figure of the precious and life-giving cross, venerable and holy images of our Lord
and God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, our inviolate Lady, the holy Mother of God, and the venerated angels, all the saints and
the just, whether painted or made of mosaic or another suitable material, are to be exhibited in the holy churches of God, on sacred vessels and vestments, walls and panels, in houses and on streets."

Jesus says men reject the commandment of God that they may keep their own tradition: "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." -Mk. 7:9
Imacatholic, The "mark of the beast" is the alteration of God's Commandments.

You as me, Do I keep pictures of my love ones? As human tradition, Yes.

Now I ask you Imacatholic, Do you curve a graven images for your love ones and bowing unto them? If you do then, you ware the mark.

Catholic Church dropped the "Second Commandment" which forbids "graven images", i.e. statues. Allegedly the Catholic Church condones statue worship.

You can not LIE!



Don't give me garbage question.
*wear the "mark of the beast".
Doug & Imacatholic, Learn the Gospel according to the Apostles and "not" the gospel according to Rome. God will put an awful curse on all who preach a different gospel. Repent or Perish!

House Speaker, what anti-catholic.com are you regurgitating that from?

You need to familiarize yourself with Sacramentals. Here's a start:

Images and Statues

Deut. 4:15 - from this verse, non-Catholic Christians say that since we saw "no form" of the Lord, we should not make graven images of Him.

Deut. 4:16 - of course, in early history Israel was forbidden to make images of God because God didn't yet reveal himself visibly "in the form of any figure."

Deut. 4:17-19 - hence, had the Israelites depicted God not yet revealed, they might be tempted to worship Him in the form of a beast, bird, reptile or fish, which was a common error of the times.

Exodus 3:2-3; Dan 7:9; Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32; Acts 2:3- later on, however, we see that God did reveal himself in visible form (as a dove, fire, etc).

Deut. 5:8 - God's commandment "thou shall not make a graven image" is entirely connected to the worship of false gods. God does not prohibit images to be used in worship, but He prohibits the images themselves to be worshiped.

Exodus 25:18-22; 26:1,31 - for example, God commands the making of the image of a golden cherubim. This heavenly image, of course, is not worshiped by the Israelites. Instead, the image disposes their minds to the supernatural and draws them to God.

Num. 21:8-9 - God also commands the making of the bronze serpent. The image of the bronze serpent is not an idol to be worshiped, but an article that lifts the mind to the supernatural.

I Kings 6:23-36; 7:27-39; 8:6-67 - Solomon's temple contains statues of cherubim and images of cherubim, oxen and lions. God did not condemn these images that were used in worship.

2 Kings 18:4 - it was only when the people began to worship the statue did they incur God's wrath, and the king destroyed it. The command prohibiting the use of graven images deals exclusively with the false worship of those images.

1 Chron. 28:18-19 - David gives Solomon the plan for the altar made of refined gold with a golden cherubim images. These images were used in the Jews' most solemn place of worship.

2 Chron. 3:7-14 - the house was lined with gold with elaborate cherubim carved in wood and overlaid with gold.

Ezek. 41:15 - Ezekiel describes graven images in the temple consisting of carved likenesses of cherubim. These are similar to the images of the angels and saints in many Catholic churches.

Col. 1:15 - the only image of God that Catholics worship is Jesus Christ, who is the "image" (Greek "eikon") of the invisible God.
