Vesture of the Supreme Pontiff of the United Roman-Ruthenian Church 1. At solemn Matins, Lauds, and Vespers, the Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia, Supreme Pontiff of the United Roman-Ruthenian Church, wears full pontifical liturgical vestments according to the use of the Gallo-Russo-Byzantine Rite according to the liturgical season. 2. If there is to be a solemn arrival to solemn Matins, Lauds, or Vespers, then the mantum may be used for the arrival. 3. The Supreme Pontiff instead uses the cappa magna at the solemn Divine Offices of Christmas (being Matins, Lauds, and Vespers of the Vigil of Christmas and the Feast of the Nativity), the solemn Matins, Lauds, and Vespers of Ash Wednesday. During those offices, the cappa magna is worn throughout, and the cope is not used. However, others assisting at the offices wear the cope as usual. 4. The Supreme Pontiff instead also uses the cappa magna during the solemn arrival at liturgy of the dead and penitential liturgy (where it takes the place of the mantum). This includes the Tenebrae offices, solemn arrival to liturgy during the Triduum (excepting the liturgy of the Institution of the Eucharist); and Matins, Lauds, and Vespers, as well as a solemn arrival to liturgy for all vigils and ember days (excepting those of Pentecost Week). 5. The Supreme Pontiff always wears the hood over the head when wearing the cappa magna. 6. At non-solemn offices, the Supreme Pontiff may use the pontifical liturgical vestments according to the use of the Gallo-Russo-Byzantine Rite according to the liturgical season (full or, optionally, simplex according to rank of the day) or else choir dress at Matins, Lauds, and Vespers. 7. At all offices other than Matins, Lauds, and Vespers, the Supreme Pontiff uses either choir dress or the cassock with, optionally, the toga or ferraiolo.
