What color phelonion is a priest supposed wear to concelebrate a funeral Mass?

[SyroMalankara]

The Syro-Malabar particular law does not specify wafer or loaf and I do not know of the Syro-Malankara is similar or not:
Art. 139 - Eucharistic bread shall be made of wheat flour and shall have sufficient thickness.

It does seem appropriate to me to use the form of bread that is the ancient use.

I have the particular law book with me, however, the written rule is secondary to historical-Traditional practice. We all know the Malankara Syriac practice is leavened, loaf or not.

I should add, not just leaven. Leaven from the previous loaf, all the way to the time of St. James, tradition says water mixed from the side of Christ that poured forth water and blood.

I’m curious – is using blue, green, red, white, gold and silver vestments in the Ruthenian Church (rather than simply light/dark) a latinization, or is that practice (which definitely came from the West) approved because it’s older than what we typically refer to as latinizations?

Blue is definitely not a latinization, given that it’s not allowed in the RC church (excepting a country or two with dispensations, and that handful of priests Fr. David refers to . . .)

I finally joined an eastern parish the year after I was drafted to teach in my kids’ school for a year. The next year, I was free to change. But my kids were still at that school, and the sister they had did not approve of my choice (thought I should just find a more conservative RC parish, but that wasn’t what led me there!).

Anyway, she asked a question about vestments, then replied that, no, blue wasn’t worn. One of my twins popped out with, “The priest at my daddy’s church was wearing blue yesterday!”

“Let’s not go there.”
