The English meaning of the Latin expression 'in albis' is in white. The reference is to 'Dominica in albis depositis', which means 'the Sunday of the laying aside of the white garments'. On that Sunday, the newly baptized people took their white baptismal garments off.

What is an alb in Catholic religion?

The alb is the white tunic type of vestment which a priest wears over his street clothes and under the chasuble, which is the outer vestment, when he celebrates the Eucharist. The name comes from the Latin word for white. When celebrating Mass in an informal setting such as someone's home or when it is very hot, the alb can be worn without the chasuble. In either case a stole, the long, narrow garment similar to a Jewish prayer shawl, is worn symbolizing priestly authority.
