The Father Mark Catholic Priest Set from Shining Light Dolls invites young Catholics to learn about the priesthood, the liturgical year and its colours, and the significance of special vestments worn at Mass. It is also a great tool for parish educators!
From Shining Light Dolls:
Each priest rag doll set comes with a priest (permanently) clothed in his daily clerical clothes (black top, pants, shoes, belt and white Roman collar). The set then also includes removable liturgical vestments including the amice, alb, cincture, 4 stoles (in red, purple, white, and green) and 4 chasubles (in red, purple, white, and green). The doll and all vestments come in a muslin drawstring bag to keep all the clothes safe for the next playtime!
Each set also includes the book, "Sunday Best: How Priests Are Dressed." This short guide will walk you through the different vestments worn by the priest during Sunday Mass, each with its own meaning and symbolism. Inside you will also find a brief explanation of the different vestment colors worn during the year.
