Chasuble (English spelling) [France]

Japanese: シャジュブル（英語表記）chasuble[フランス]

The vestments worn by Catholic priests over their robes and stole during mass. They are circular outer garments with a hole in the middle for the head, derived from a cloak called a penula worn by commoners in Rome around the 1st and 2nd centuries, but do not have a hood. They fell out of use as civilian clothing around the 6th century, and continue to exist only as liturgical clothing. After the 14th century, the shape was changed to make them easier to wear, but in the late 19th century, they reverted to the old Roman style, and are still in use today. Priestly vestments [Inoue Yasuo]

カトリックの司祭がミサのときに司祭服やストールの上に着る上祭服。真ん中に頭を通す穴をあけた円形の貫頭衣式の外衣で，1～2世紀ごろローマの庶民が着た〈ペヌラ〉というマントから派生したが，フードはつけない。6世紀ごろ市民服としてはすたれ，典礼服としてのみ存続。14世紀以後着やすくするため形の上での変化があったが，19世紀後半ローマ時代の古い形に復帰し，現在も使われている。祭服【井上泰男】
