The BIRETTA (Latin: biretum, birretum) is a square cap . Traditionally, the three-peaked biretta is worn by Roman Catholic clergy and some Anglican and Lutheran clergy. The biretta is used by all ranks of the Roman Catholic clergy from cardinals to priests, deacons, and seminarians. Those worn by cardinals are scarlet red. After the Second Vatican Council, the ceremony of giving the galero to cardinals was replaced with giving the biretta. The biretta of a bishop is fuchsia in color, while those worn by priests, deacons, and seminarians are black. Birettas are also occasionally worn by high-church Anglican clergy. Canons and deans often wear a black biretta.
