Capuce

In Prayer

A capuce is the hood on a Dominican friar's habit. It is worn over the scapular, which is that long apron worn over the tunic.  The cappa also has a capuce.  It's the hood attached to the cappa.  The cappa is the cape.  When to put on the capuce has rules much like a gentleman donning a hat.

But I'll tell you one thing.  Don't ask a friar a dumb ass question when he's kneeling and his capuce is on.  It means he's in prayer.
