Is there a name for the cloth used to cover the Crucifix from Maundy Thursday through Good Friday? What about cloths used to cover other items in the Church?

No. There’s no particular name. Sometimes we use “cloth” sometimes “veil” or “covering” and probably a few others that just don’t come to mind at the moment. But there is no official or strictly proper name for them.
 
Thank you Father.

Maybe I’m having a senior moment or maybe I’m just stupid, but “veil” is what I was looking for - or at least it will suffice.

Thanks again.

I appreciate that someone took the time to look it up but the same link says that a hungertuch completely hides the altar from view.
