vestry
A vestry is a backstage room of sanctity, where clergy don elaborate robes with the reverence of fashion models preparing for a runway. Within these hallowed walls, piety often takes second place to the careful inspection of seams and tassels. Isolated from the outside world, it becomes a stage where power is measured in yards of velvet rather than spiritual virtue. The room demands utmost respect for fragile fabrics, even as its ritual restores the most mundane pursuit of self-glorification. Concealed behind a veneer of holiness, it hosts the ordinary struggle for status in the name of the divine.
