What is the name of something a Catholic priest wears during mass?

Question

It's not the sash the deacon wears, but the long ribbon that goes around his neck and hangs down to the bottom of the robe.

Answer 1

Sorry I misspelled it. Here is an excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia about the vestment.

Stole - liturgical vestment composed of a strip of material from two to four inches wide and about eighty inches long. It has either a uniform width throughout, or is somewhat narrower towards the middle, widening at the ends in the shape of a trapezium or spade. A small cross is generally sewed or embroidered on the stole at both ends and in the middle; the cross, however, is prescribed only for the middle, where the priest kisses the stole before putting it on. There are no express precepts concerning the material of the stole, but silk, or at least a halfsilk fabric, is most appropriate. Stoles for festivals are generally ornamented with embroidery, especially what are called vesper stoles".

Answer 2

Priest Sash

Answer 3

It is a stole, a long thin band of silk worn around the neck and shoulders, suggestive of the "yoke of the Lord". It is worn by the priest in the solemn celebration of all the sacraments.

Here is a nice site that explains vestments (including the stole) and church utensils with pictures: http://stbrigids-kilbirnie.com/Pages/mass-2.html

With love in Christ.

The liturgical vestments of the Latin (i.e. Roman) Rite are: the amice, alb, cincture, maniple, stole, tunicle, dalmatic, chasuble, surplice, cope, sandals, stockings (or buskins), gloves, mitre, pallium, succinctorium, and fanon.
