Lavabo towels in the liturgy

The liturgical towel, also known as a lavabo towel, is used by the priest to dry his hands after he washes them during the preparation of the gifts. It is a practical part of sacristy equipment and complements the altar linen set.

During the lavabo rite at Mass, the priest washes his hands after preparing the gifts and then dries them with the towel. Its simple form and natural coloring allow it to be used throughout the liturgical year, regardless of the character of the celebration.

The set of 5 pieces is a practical provision for parishes, churches, chapels, religious orders, and sacristies, providing an adequate supply of towels for successive celebrations.
