The white cassock, especially among French-speaking people, is the vestment of religious offices. In Quebec the tradition is the same one as in Belgium and France. These cassocks worn by different choirs are quite similar. The crosses they wear, however, can vary. Different choirs have adopted a variety of crosses or other symbols. The wooden cross is the same that a famous French boys' choir wears.
L'aube blanche, surtout chez les francophones, est le vêtement liturgique
porté lors de concerts de musiques sacrées ou lors d'offices religieux. Au Québec (Canada)
la tradition est la même comme en Belgique et en France. La photo, les Petits Chanteurs de Laval en aube, porte une croix plus petite.
