The Lancea Sanctum is a heavily ritualized covenant. Its reliance on ceremony and formality are unparalleled in the Danse Macabre. Some of that formality has weakened in modern nights, but still remains strong in many cities. Traditional Sanctified leaders make use of certain sacramental clothing, or vestments. These vestments vary by domain, though there is an “accepted set” of ritual clothing, the color varying by Anointed position. The liturgical colors of the covenant are red, blue, violet, and black. Inquisitors wear black, Priests wear blue and black, Bishops wear black and violet, Archbishops wear red and black, and Cardinals wear only red.

Most vestments are worn only during Apostolica. The primary vestments (though individual Sanctified favor many others) are used throughout the covenant. First is the kethonet, a simple white linen tunic worn by all officiates in the covenant. Next comes the chasuble, a square piece of cloth with a hole cut for the head, usually bearing a single color shadowed with brocade. Over that goes the birretum, a rough dark cloak (usually red or black) with a deep hood. A sestace — a band of silk over a yard long — is wrapped around one of the forearms during the ritual, used to wipe blood from mouth and cup. Finally, many (though not all) ritual leaders wear a ritus personae, a mask (often made of stone, porcelain, or even glass) some of which look like the plague masks of the Middle Ages.

In addition to such vestments, a Priest may be identified by a signet ring with which he is sometimes presented, particularly in affluent parishes, during his Anointing. Traditionally, Anointed Priests receive a ring set with an onyx, Bishops receive one with an emerald, and Archbishops receive one with a sapphire. Cardinals wear rings set with large rubies.

In-Game Changes/Additions

Green is now used for Archivist's vestments. They do not get a ring, but gain a gilded quill as the symbol of their office. It is not expected that bring it with them to the Apostolica rites. However, the quill acts as an icon of their office, as the rings do for the "clergy" and the metal talons do for Inquisitors.

Yellow is the colour used for Ostiery vestments. As the muscle and guard for the Lancea Sanctum, Ostieries do not get a symbolic item of office. instead they are left unencumbered so as to remain at peak readiness incase something, or someone unwise, should arrive at the Sanctified's doorstep.

All other Lanceas who attend Apostolica rites should wear white vestments with no mask
