Priestly alb with pleats and Marian embroidery on the front, back, and sleeves. Cotton-polyester blend

White priestly alb with pleats, embellished with Marian embroidery in shades of white and blue on both the front and back, as well as above the sleeve trim. Made from a cotton (65%) and polyester (35%) blend fabric. Easy to put on thanks to the zipper on the chest. Entirely made in Italy by an artisan company specializing in the production of sacred vestments. The available sizes refer to the length of the alb from the neck to the ankles. The alb is the long, white, long-sleeved garment that covers the entire body from the shoulders to the ankles and is worn by everyone officiating during the Holy Mass, not only priests but also ministers, deacons, and altar servers. It must be fastened at the waist with a cincture and completely cover the clothing worn underneath. Wearing the alb symbolically recalls baptism, during which every Christian receives a new white garment, itself a symbol of Christ's purity.
