The abbot clothes a newly professed monk with the cuculla after his solemn vows. The cuculla is a flowing, pleated cloak with a hood that symbolizes the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict, which the monk freely accepts at the time of his solemn profession of vows. Here, after being clothed with the cuculla, the abbot gives the newly professed brother the Sign of Peace.
