A priest's collar is a distinctive sign of their religious faith and often worn as part of their clerical clothing. Some synonyms for a priest's collar include clerical collar, clergy collar, pastor's collar, and Roman collar. The collar is typically a white piece of cloth or plastic detachable band worn around the neck, sometimes also referred to as a rabat. While the priest's collar is primarily associated with the Roman Catholic church, it is also worn by Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran, and other Protestant ministers. Regardless of the name used, a priest's collar remains a symbol of faith, tradition, and dedication to one's religious calling.
