Catholic AnswerThe chasuble is the required vestment for a priest or a Bishop to wear when celebrating the Most Holy Eucharist. It is the color of the season in the Church year OR the color of the particular feast day being celebrated. It is worn with a matching stole and optional maniple under it. It is commonly decorated with orphrys or the more modern chasubles from the post-Vatican II era often have styled figures of the Eucharist, perhaps embroidered with grapes and wheat.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Chasuble. A sleeveless outer garment worn by a priest at Mass. It is worn over all other vestments and is made of silk, velvet, or other rich material usually decorated with symbols. The arms are to be free when it is worn. It symbolizes the yoke of Christ and signifies charity. (Etym. Latin casula, a little house,; hence a mantle.)
