Green Band Cincture for the Longest Season
Green is the color the church wears most, through the weeks of Ordinary Time after Epiphany and again from Pentecost to Advent. This green cincture lets you carry that color at the waist. The cincture itself is a broad cloth band, colored a deep leaf green, with one end falling into a long fringe. Near the top of the fringe the strands are tied into tidy rows of knots, which keeps them orderly and gives the end some weight.
A Color of Growth
Liturgical green stands for life, hope and growing in faith. Wearing a green band with green stoles, altar frontals and pulpit falls gives the whole chancel a matched look during the green seasons.
Waist Sizes
Every waist from 34 up to 54 is offered, for men and for women alike. Measure while wearing the robe or cassock that will sit underneath.

Green Cincture FAQs
When is a green cincture worn?
A green cincture is worn during Ordinary Time, the weeks between Epiphany and Lent and from Pentecost until Advent. It is the most-used liturgical color of the year, so a green cincture gets a lot of wear.
What does green symbolize in the church year?
Liturgical green symbolizes life, hope and spiritual growth. It is used in the long stretches of the year when the church focuses on the teaching and ministry of Jesus rather than a major feast.
How is this green cincture made?
Think of a flat sash of deep green cloth, several inches wide, with one end dropping into a fringe. Rows of little knots gather the strands at the top of that fringe before they hang free.
Can I wear a green cincture with a black robe?
Yes. A green band stands out well against a black cassock or pulpit robe and also works over a white robe. It is a simple way to show the season when you do not wear a green stole.
Which waist size should I order for a green cincture?
Put on the robe you will wear beneath it, measure your waist, and select that number between 34 and 54. A measurement that falls between sizes should be rounded up.
