Comments: Dressed as a tribal leader in a cloak, also known as a tunic, Navy Lt. Catherine V. Pace, a Combat Center chaplain, talks to two children during the weeklong Vacation Bible School held here last week at the Protestant Chapel. The program is held annually in an effort to remind children the lessons and enrichment of the Catholic and Protestant faiths.
From AmTrac: GARMENTS
The chief garments of the Hebrews were the tunic or inner garment, and the mantle or outer garment. These seem to have constituted a "change of Rainment," Judges 14:13; Judges 19:1-30 Acts 9:39. The tunic was of linen, and was worn next to the skin, fitting close to the body; it had armholes, and sometimes wide and open sleeves, and reached below the knees; that worn by females reached to the ankles. The tunic was sometimes woven without seam, like that of Jesus, John 19:23. The upper garment or mantle was a piece of cloth nearly square, and two or three yards in length and breadth, which was wrapped round the body, or tied over the shoulders. A man without this robe on was sometimes said to be "naked," Isaiah 20:2-4 John 21:7. This could be so arranged as to form a large bosom for carrying things; and the mantle also served the poor as a bed by night, Exodus 22:26, Exodus 22:27 Job 22:6. See BOSOM and BED.
Between these two garments, the Hebrews sometimes wore a third, called me-il, a long and wide robe or tunic of cotton or linen, without sleeves.
