What is a "cope"?
A cope is a type of vestment or ceremonial cloak that is traditionally worn by members of the clergy during religious ceremonies. It is a long and flowing garment that typically reaches the ground, and it features a circular opening in the center through which the wearer can place their head. Copes are often made of richly embroidered fabrics and may be adorned with intricate patterns or religious symbols. They are typically worn over other vestments, such as a cassock or surplice, and are an important part of the liturgical tradition in many Christian denominations.
