Fr. Casey Cole explains the unique tradition of the Order of Friars Minor of passing down robes of the deceased to the next generation.
The brown robes of the Order of Friars Minor, also known as Franciscans, are an iconic look that immediately identify wearers as part of the order. What many may not know, however, is that the robes they wear are not their own; rather they are passed down within the order to be worn by the next generation. This unique and thrifty tradition was the topic of a recent episode of Fr. Casey Cole’s YouTube channel, Breaking in the Habit.
Fr. Cole has been documenting his life as a Franciscan since he began discerning his vocation in Breaking in the Habit, a blog he built into a popular YouTube channel that currently boasts over 320,000 subscribers.
