Verger

/ˈvɜrdʒər/ noun

Definition

A person who works as a caretaker or official attendant in a church, helping with services and maintaining the building.

Etymology

From Old French 'vergier,' derived from 'verge' (a stick or staff of office). Vergers traditionally carried a staff as a symbol of authority in church settings.

Kelly Says

Vergers are basically church custodians, but the job is much older and more ceremonial than 'custodian' sounds—they historically carried a special staff called a 'verge' that represented their authority to keep order during services.
