Habit of the Florentine Archfather
The habit of the Archfather consists of a red-trimmed white cassock based upon the habit of the Royal Order of St. Stephen, a red fascia, white plain silk zucchetto to match the white Stephenian habit, and red mozzetta. There are certain elements of the patriarchal habit specific to the history and patrimony of the See of St. Stephen.
Mozzetta
The winter mozzetta, used from the Feast of St. Catherine until the Ascension, is of red silk or wool with white fur trimming. The winter zucchetto may optionally be used, which is of white plain silk with white fur trim. Alternatively, the winter fur mozzetta, used during the same period, is longer and of white fur lined with red satin, without a standing collar, and with a red hood. The winter toga may also be worn underneath the mozzetta. It is scarlet with large sleeves and white fur trim on the edge of the sleeves. The summer mozzetta, used from the Ascension through the Feast of St. Catherine, is of red moiré. A red and gold or a solid gold patriarchal stole may be used over the mozzetta.
Grand Choral Habit
Particular to the tradition of the Anglican Patriarchate, the grand choir dress of the archfather is used in many cases in place of the cappa magna. It consists of a long red or gold cope, the colour following the same rubric as the Patriarchal stole. It is worn with the Patriarcha tiara or the mitre outside liturgy and the mitre within liturgy. It is also used any time that a cope is otherwise prescribed. The grand choir dress is not used for solemn arrival during penitential rites, when instead the cappa magna is used. However, it is used during most penitential liturgy.
Paschal Habit
During Paschaltide, the mozzetta is according to the season, and the stole, if used, is always the gold one.
State Habit
Identical to that of the Governor-General and Arch-Chancellor, with the Patriarchal stole over the hood, and in either red or gold depending on the season.
Habits of the Governor-General and Arch-Chancellor
The habits of the Governor-General and the Arch-Chancellor, as Prince-Electors, are essentially identical to those of bishops, except that what is purple is red. A purple cassock with red trimming is used in penitential seasons and for mourning.
State Habit
The Governor-General and the Arch-Chancellor may make use of a state habit consisting of a long cape with gold trim over which is worn either the winter hood of the cappa magna or the summer hood according to season, without a stole. The biretta, pontifical hat, or crown is used. The cassock is according to the season.
