The Cost of Church Vestments

It would be interesting to know the cost of the "vestments" worn by the apostles, or by Bishop Timothy of Ephesus, or Bishop Titus of Crete. Such curiosity is awakened by such items as this from the Catholic Mirror. "Seven sets of church vestments presented to the Church of SS. Peter and Paul, Williamsburg, L. I., by Theodore A. Havemeyer, in memory of his father, the late Theodore A. Havemeyer, were consecrated in the church last Sunday by Rev. Sylvester Malone, the pastor. The vestments were imported from Paris and cost $7,000."
