   casula, a hooded garment, covering the person like a little
   house; cf. It. casupola, casipola, cottage, dim of L. casa

   The outer vestment worn by the priest in saying Mass,
   consisting, in the Roman Catholic Church, of a broad, flat,
   back piece, and a narrower front piece, the two connected
   over the shoulders only. The back has usually a large cross,
