BAPTISMAL GARMENT. The white robe, formerly worn by the newly baptized (cf., Dominica in Albis, Low Sunday). Its place is now taken by a linen cloth, laid on the child's head with the words, "Receive this white garment, which thou shalt carry stainless before the judgment seat of our Lord Jesus Christ that thou mayest have everlasting life.” This cloth was sometimes termed a chrismal, and the expression "chrisom child " for one newly baptized is still occasionally used.
