用法筆記

Parament is most often used in the plural form (paraments) when referring to a full set of church hangings. In the singular it usually describes one specific piece, such as an altar cloth or a lectern hanging. The color of the parament often changes with the church calendar — for example, purple for Lent, white for Easter.
