Also known as a girdle, “is a cord used to tie around the waist and gather in the alb. It may be white or the color of the main vestments” (Elliott, 143). It is put on after the alb and each cincture is kept with the vestment it corresponds with in the Sacristy. The cord may be tied to the side for altar servers or with two loops for a priest to insert his stole through.
