다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Turning into the 20th century two remarkable movements introduced in the Christian community; Liturgical Movement and Ecumenical Movement. Like the examples of other countries, these movements have influenced on the comprehensive studies of renewal of worship services in Korea, that is, both the ceremony renovation movement of Catholic and the ritual recovery movement of Protestantism.
In particular, Protestantism that is one of the imported denominations into the nation now holds an active movement of renovation even in its worship rituals, upon the bicentennial anniversary of propagation which can generally be said the stage of stability and settlement in every respect. Obviously it seems to indicate the necessity of some researches on the formal or liturgical vestments.
From the point of view that now the Protestant Church also requires putting on liturgical vestments from the Biblical and religious points, this thesis is to some desirable models of liturgical vestments and to contribute to the development of them.
Thus this study concentrated on the following points; the priests' vestments of the Bible, the developmental stages of liturgical vestments downward, and those examples of major denominations which were introduced and settled in Korea.
According to the Bible, priests' vestments of the Old Testament were God-given and taken on behalf of the public and their vestments were considered more than 'Suit of Life'causing their death if without. On the other hand, Jesus Christ and his Apostles in the New Testament era generally put the Jewish costumes in those days.
Roman establishment of Christianity, as its state religion, served as a decisive momentum of the development of new liturgical vestments mainly in the ordinary clothes of the upper class and of forming the symbolically colorful church calendar which was made of Jesus' life almost exclusively. Furthermore, different kinds of peculiar and symbolic liturgical vestments appeared in a gay manner.
In the period of Reformation of the 16th century Protestantism rejected the rituals and vestments of Roman Catholic, but the Rutheran Church, chiefly in Germany, adopted basic ones of its own and the Presbyterian Church which mainly consisted of the Calvinists in Geneva applied the ritual gown of colleges to its services, neglecting the examples of Roman Catholic.
Christianity of Korea which had been imported since the late 18th century, on the early stage of propagation, faced many difficulties in performing worship services due to the national isolation policy, Japanese suppression, the Korean war(1950-1953)and others. For example, Catholic which was introduced in 1985 could not take the traditional vestments of the Western world unitl 1887.
In Korea, the liturgical vestments of Catholic, the Orthodox Church, and the Episcopal Church not only adopt the colors of church calendars in parallel with symbolic meanings but also are various in kind by the organization. Today both Catholic and the Episcopal Churches show the tendency of simplification by the influence of the above-mentioned Liturgical Movement.
In the Rutheran Church, on the contrary, the liturgical vestments as well as the organization are simple and already in the state being simplified.
The Presbyterian, Methodist and Holiness Churches, through the propagation of the American Liberal Church, had been introduced since 1885 and held the services with ordinary clothes. The gown which goes back to those days toward 1950s in now generalized. However, it is in fact put in different way with the taste of each priest, not the regular one. In addition, the major divisions of the year found in the church calendar are maintained, but there is no any symbolic color.
As shown in above results, the division of Christian denominations concurs with each different worship rituals and liturgical vestments.
Judging from the fact obtained that the liturgical vestments are necessary in Protestantism Biblically and religiously in terms of the function and role of worship rituals, this study suggests the following two models; one is the black and white Geneva Gown endowed with symbols and meanings, the other is stole applied with the colors of the church calendar.
