The cincture (or, as it is more commonly called in England, the girdle) is an article of liturgical attire which has certainly been recognized as such since the ninth century. Then as now it was used to confine the loose, flowing alb, and prevent it from impeding the movements of the wearer.

In this picture, I am wearing a plain alb. Albs are most often worn with a rope cincture. Natural colored cinctures are most common, but they also come in colors to match the church seasons. I’m wearing a green cincture for the contrast so that you can see it.

The cincture is a rope worn around the waist of a liturgical minister wearing an alb. (An alb is the long white vestment that covers the minister from neck to ankle.) The cincture functions like a belt. It is sometimes called a girdle, but because that word refers to another type of garment in English, it is rarely used.
