Over the cassock, pastors may wear a stole, a long narrow strip of fabric that hangs around the neck and is often decorated with symbols or colors associated with specific liturgical seasons or events. Additionally, ordained pastors wear pastor robes for males that includes wearing a chasuble, or a sleeveless outer garment worn over the stole. This is commonly associated with the celebration of the Eucharist or Holy Communion.
