The Biretta: A Symbol of Catholic Clergy's Faith and Ministry

A biretta is a type of hat worn by Roman Catholic clergy, particularly priests and bishops, as part of their formal attire. It is a small, round cap that is typically made of black cloth and has a short brim in front. The biretta is worn over the cassock, a long, flowing garment that is worn under the priest's liturgical vestments.

The biretta has been worn by Catholic clergy for centuries and is still used today as part of their formal dress. It is often worn during religious ceremonies and other formal occasions, such as weddings and funerals. The biretta is considered a symbol of the priest's office and his commitment to his faith and ministry.
