Why are there 33 buttons on a cassock?
There are 33 buttons on a cassock to count each year of Christ's life on Earth, from His birth untill His death on the Cross. When a priest or seminarian dresses, they button each of the buttons down the cassock, recognizing the significance of each year of Christ's earthly life.
