Who are the priests that wear olive colored robes with leather belts and sandals?
I have never heard of that before. Franciscans wear brown or grey. Benedictines wear black as do most Christian monastic orders. Roman Catholic and some Anglican Priests wear for daily use, cassocks buttoned down the front. Other Anglican Priests wear doublebreasted cassocks with belts, ropes or cinctures about their waists. Most Non-Conformist Ministers do not wear cassocks or any other vestments apart from a clerical collar. Some like Anglican and Roman Catholic Priests wear special vestments for Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, and the Eucharistic Services, the colours for which change according to the season or Saint's Day.
