DEFINITION
- n. From the Latin "dalmatica" and the French "dalmatique". It is part of the clerical attire, a liturgical vestment, even thought it also has been used as a civil attire by emperors and kings during solemnities. Being part also of the tradicional "ternum", this eucharistic vestment is a decorated over-tunic, which reaches the knees, with a slit on each side of the skirt, with wide sleeves and marked with two stripes. It is commonly used by deacons during the Mass or celebrations, but also sometimes worn by bishops.
