This is why they are called “les ‘mules du pape” - “slippers of the pope”. You should understand what I mean.” “Then, over your apparel as described, you will wear a long white robe, with a wide border about a foot wide and the color of fire; its sleeves are to be made in the manner of an alb and to have also a border the color of fire, a half foot wide. The collar of this robe will have an “outside lining made of the same color of fire, approximately five fingers in width.” In addition you will wear all the colors of the Order, namely: the celestial blue ribbon in the form of a collar, around the neck, but without any emblems; next, a black ribbon passing from right to left; then a red sash from right to left around the waist, below and above the abdomen; then you will pass a water-green sash from left to right over the chest. ‘The position of these two sashes on your body makes an allusion to the sensual and spiritual material separations.” (Cetera Dam Maries de Pauly fo ‘1 Wien dated Spt This costume is that of the Reau+Croix Operator during the Equinoxes, where as the Master-Cohen’s is evidently more simple: + awhite alb, with a cordelier of the same color. ~ woolen sandals or slippers, with soles lined with cork blue collar, a black bandolier worn as a shoulder belt from right to left.
