Catholic Culture: the Hood

Rich in history and symbolism.

Mozzetta of a canon.

Many pastors in Italy are canons.

In one sense it is a gentle reminder of the monastic footprint of the priesthood.

  1. I like very much the mozzetta. Normally the mozzetta with the little hood is only worn by the pope nowadays. Have a look at the different mozette of the Pope.
