Historical information
These slippers came in the colours of the seasons of the church and the collection has a full set. These episcopal sandals, slippers or pontifical sandals, are a pontifical vestment worn by bishops when celebrating liturgical functions according to the pre–Vatican II rubrics. After the Second Vatican Council, the episcopal sandals fell out of common use following the revisions of the liturgy resulting in the Mass of Paul VI.
This set was used in the cathedral at Ballarat for Pontifical High Mass prior to 1970.
Physical description
Two pair of liturgical slippers one red, the other green.
