Angelique (Vetement ou Habit) angelica vestis

In the ancient English, it was a monk's garment that lay people wore a little before their deaths, in order to partake in monks' prayers.

This garment was called angelic, because monks were considered angels, whose prayers helped in the salvation of the soul. From there comes that in their ancient books, monachus ad succurendum means the one who wore the angelic garment at one's time of dying.

This customs persists today in Spain and Italy, where people, of quality especially, take care, when they feel their death coming, of having themselves clothed in the garment of some religious order, such as those of Saint Dominic or Saint Francis, with which they are exposed in public or buried.
