The History and Significance of Monastic Albs
The word alb comes from the Latin word "Albus", meaning 'white'. The formal use of albs as vestments in churches began with the Council of Narbonne in 589 A.D. Today, monastic albs are worn in the United States by altar servers, acolytes, lectors and other lay ministers in Christian worship.
Monastic albs hold deep symbolic meaning, representing baptism and the calling to sainthood within the Catholic Church. In the early Anglican Church, albs reflected those performing holy tasks should wear bright white garments, symbolizing purity and devotion.
