Proper dress is important to many religions in the world. Some religious people wear robes, others wear special head-coverings, and still others wear symbolic jewelry that expresses their faith. For some religions, only the clergy have special attire, while others are simply to dress modestly. But in other religions, the laypeople have clothing requirements as well. These garments are often considered holy by adherents.
