What is the difference between dalmatic and chasuble?

The dalmatic and the chasuble are both liturgical vestments worn by clergy in the Catholic Church, but they serve different liturgical functions and have different designs.

The dalmatic is a long, wide-sleeved tunic worn over the alb and stole. It is worn primarily by deacons during Mass and other liturgical celebrations in which they have a special role. The dalmatic is a symbol of the deacon’s role as a servant of the Church and a sign of his ordination to the diaconate. It is often decorated with elaborate designs and colors appropriate to the liturgical season.

The chasuble, on the other hand, is a sleeveless outer vestment worn by the priest during Mass. It is usually made of a heavy fabric and covers the priest’s shoulders and arms, reaching down to the ankles. The chasuble is a symbol of the priest’s role as the celebrant of Mass and represents the “yoke of Christ”.
