Saint Ildefonsus receiving the chasuble

the above would be a more literal translation, however, I have also found The Investiture of Saint Ildefonsus

Juan de BORGOÑA (ca.1470 - ca. 1534)
The Investiture of Saint Ildefonsus, 1508-14
tempera and oil on wood panel

This painting depicts a popular Spanish subject: Saint Ildefonsus receiving a chasuble, or bishop's robe, from the Virgin

another possibility:

The Placing of the Chasuble on Saint Ildefonso

The investiture of Saint Ildephonsus is a favorite subject of Spanish artists, who depict him as a cardinal archbishop receiving a chasuble from the Blessed Virgin. His hat is near him. He may also be shown mitred with his abbot's crozier, chasuble, pallium, book, and cardinal's hat, or writing before an image of the Blessed Virgin (Roeder, Tabor). He is venerated throughout Spain but especially in Toledo and Seville (Roeder).

the chasuble investment

la casulla es la toga que luce el sacerdote cuando celebra misa e indica que lo que hace de ahí en más lo hace "in persona Christi". La imposición de la casulla es la parte central de la ordenación de un sacerdote por el Obispo, ya que indica que lo habilita para celebrar misa.

there are investments of kings, bishops, priests, etc. They are very old and tradicional ceremonies, so you have to use old and traditional words.
