The Morse clasp, from the Latin “morsus” meaning “bite” or “catch,” is used to fasten the cope in liturgical attire. Originating between the 12th and 14th centuries, these clasps were essential for securing the cope during ceremonies.

Today, they remain vital in church vestments, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal.
