What is a vicars scarf?

A vicar's scarf, also known as a clerical scarf or preaching scarf, is a long, narrow piece of cloth worn by clergy, particularly in Anglican and some other Christian denominations. Typically made of silk or wool, it is often black or white, symbolizing the wearer's religious office. The scarf is usually draped around the neck and hangs down in front, serving both a functional and ceremonial role during worship services and other religious ceremonies.
