The ecclesiastical vestments are another name for the liturgical vestments. Over time, the liturgical garments used during Mass have changed. Nonetheless, priests have donned liturgical vestments during the performance of the Mass from the early days of the Church. Even while Old Testament priests used vestments in their liturgical rituals, "Christian" garments are not adaptations of them; rather, Christian vestments emerged from Graeco-Roman clothing, including religious culture.

Vestments are liturgical clothing and items closely associated with Christianity, notably among Eastern Orthodox, Catholics (both Western and Eastern Churches), Anglicans, and Lutherans. Many other groups wear liturgical clothing; this was a source of conflict throughout the Protestant Reformation and sometimes after that, most notably during the nineteenth-century Ritualist controversies in England.

Priests' ceremonial garments are known as 'vestments,' which means clothes in Latin. Vestments represent clothes that are not worn in everyday life and are derived from the secular garments of the ancient Romans and Greeks. They are a uniform representing the holiness of a priest's vocation and his role in leading liturgies.

Clerical attire is non-liturgical clothes worn by clergy only. It differs from vestments in that it is not designated for certain services. Practices vary; it is sometimes worn beneath vestments, and it is occasionally worn as a priest's, ministers, or other clergy member's regular clothes or street dress. It may be comparable to or identical to a monk's or nun's habit in certain circumstances.

Vestments have a long history in Christianity, and they symbolize the important work that priests do. While the clothing worn by priests in various Christian sects has many similarities, there are also significant differences. You may also notice that the colours of priest vestments change throughout the year, which is just another way for priests to interact with their community through their clothing.
