Roman Catholic AnswerYou are referring to the baptismal garment, or white robe formerly worn by the newly baptized in the early Church. It was symbolized by a white linen cloth up until Vatican Council II, and they are trying to get back to an actual white garment on the new baptized, usually symbolized with a white stole that they receive when baptized.

What does the baptism outfit symbolize?

We wear a white gown or garment because baptism is like the rebirth of a person and white represents purity of the soul. In some churches it is traditional, if the garment is saved until death, to be buried wearing the baptismal gown (where obviously this may not always be practical). This practice serves as a reminder and a comfort to loved ones and friends that the departed one is a Christian and is now completing the journey which began at baptism in hope of the resurrection to come.
