Cincture
For the architectural element, see Architectural glossary. The cincture or girdle is a liturgical accessory, and one of the vestments used by the Roman Catholic church, most Lutheran denominations, AnglicansMethodists, and other Protestant churches. It is a long, rope-like cord with tassled ends, tied around the waist outside the alb. When worn by laypersons the color generally reflects that of the liturgical season. When worn by clergy, however, it is usually white. It symbolizes chastity and purity.
