| Description : | Silk maniple with a cross design at either end in red and gold-coloured thread. The maniple is done in varying shades of yellow and gold with lining and accents in red. In the middle of the maniple is another cross motif, with a gold-coloured tab on the other side to secure it to another vestment. |
| Commentaires : | This particular maniple was used at St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church in Rustico, Prince Edward Island. St. Augustine's church was completed in 1838 and ministered to the largely Acadian parish of Rustico. |
| Fonctions : | The maniple is a vestment worn by Roman Catholic priests. It is draped over the left arm near the wrist in such a way that it falls in equal length on each side of the arm. A maniple is worn by subdeacons, deacons, priests and bishops, but not by those of lesser orders. The first evidence of the use of the maniple in the Roman Catholic church dates as early as the 6th century, and it was in common use in Western Europe by the 9th century. The maniple's origins can be traced to various ornamental handkerchiefs that were worn by individuals of rank during the Roman and early-Christian periods. Early maniples were little more than a rectangular band of cloth. By the Middle Ages the band had become quite long and included much more ornamentation. Silk was the most commonly used material by the later Middle Ages, and adornment with silver and gold thread was typical. The spade shape at the ends of the maniple like the one depicted here became prevalent during the 16th century. Following the Second Vatican Council in 1967, use of the maniple was made optional, and it is rarely seen in practice today. There are a number of symbolic associations with the maniple. In various periods it was common to associate it with the bonds that held the hands of Christ, and the prayer offered by the priest when donning the maniple symbolizes the patience with which earthly cares and sorrows should be borne in view of a heavenly reward. |
