Bishop Domenico Mogavero drew compliments from churchgoers when he turned out for mass on Monday on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria in green silk vestments designed by Armani and decorated with symbols of vines, wheat, shells and starfish, the Guardian reports.

Mogavero said the vestments had turned heads, particularly among female parishioners, but warned he had no intention of turning the aisle into a catwalk.

"This is all not about having brands in church or indulging in the fashion of the moment, but about wearing something beautiful to give glory to God," Mogavero said.

主教阿玛尼法衣吸眼球

       英国《卫报》报道,主教多米尼哥•莫加沃罗周一在地中海的潘泰莱里亚岛上以一身绿色丝绸法衣出现在众人面前。这套法衣是由阿玛尼公司设计的,缀有葡萄藤、小麦、贝壳和海星,主教的这身衣服受到了来做礼拜的人们的赞赏。

       莫加沃罗主教说,这套法衣非常吸引眼球,特别是女性教友,但他表示并无意将教堂变成T台。

       “这完全不是要把名牌引入教堂或者说要把做礼拜搞成时尚,我是要穿得漂亮一些以向上帝表示我的敬意,”64岁的莫加沃罗主教说。
