Best Answer
Roman Catholic answerThe pall has several different meanings:

1) a piece of stiff linen or cardboard covered with linen that covers the chalice during Mass, it is used to protect the contents and to prevent flies, dust, etc. from getting into the chalice.

2) a large cloth used to cover a casket at a funeral. There are several explanations for it, it is a reminder of the cloth in which Jesus' body was covered at his burial, it is to make sure that all caskets are the same in the church. I believe the original reasons are lost to history.

3) a veil formerly held over a bride and groom during the nuptial blessing (blessing at their wedding). It is still used in the Mozarabic wedding ritual.
