Hey Men and Brethren,

Can anyone tell me the history and meaning of the acolyte and the vestments
they wear?  What are the reasons usually given for why they are specially
vested? A weak spot in my liturgical armour.  I was told once but have quite
forgotten.

Too absorbed to check it out myself and thought I would rely on the
liturgical prowess of some of y'all.

Thanks.
