WHAT DOES HUMERAL VEIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

humeral veil

Humeral veil

The humeral veil is one of the liturgical vestments of the Roman Rite, also used in some Anglican and Lutheran churches. It consists of a piece of cloth about 2.75 m long and 90 cm wide draped over the shoulders and down the front, normally of silk or cloth of gold. At the ends there are sometimes pockets in the back for hands to go into so that the wearer can hold items without touching them with the hands. There is no clarity on when the humeral veil first appeared, though it was certainly in use in the continental Tridentine Rite and in other pre-Reformation usages including the Sarum Rite. The humeral veil is of the liturgical colour of the day on which it is used, or else is white or cloth of gold. There is no black humeral veil as the ritual for Requiem Masses, which are the only Masses at which black vestments are worn in the Roman Rite, does not require it. The humeral veil is most often seen during the liturgy of Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
