A narrow embroidered band repeats gold-coloured crosses vertically on the black ground. The gallery shows the full front and back, the neckline and close views of the decoration so that the exact arrangement can be assessed before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBlack vestments are traditionally associated with Masses for the Dead and funeral liturgies. Their use depends on the applicable liturgical norms and local custom. The colour expresses mourning, recollection and prayer for the deceased while remaining within the Christian proclamation of the Resurrection. This chasuble is intended for the celebration of the Eucharist wherever black is permitted and pastorally appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEmbroidery and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA narrow embroidered band repeats gold-coloured crosses vertically on the black ground. The decoration is presented exactly as documented in the product gallery; no unsupported claim about fibre, weaving or handwork has been added.

Before the liturgy, centre the chasuble over the alb and stole and check that the sides fall freely without restricting the arms. After use, air the garment and place it on a broad hanger in a dry, ventilated wardrobe. Follow the care label for cleaning and ironing, and protect embroidery, trims and structured fabric from excessive heat, moisture and pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions and answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen may a black chasuble be used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Masses for the Dead and funeral liturgies where the applicable norms and local custom permit black vestments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat identifies this model?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts distinguishing feature is the motif shown in the title and documented in the full product gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is preparation before dispatch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe source listing states 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should the chasuble be stored?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAir it after use and hang it on a broad hanger in a dry, ventilated place without pressing the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:520px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eliturgical chasuble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eblack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMotif\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003erepeated crosses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003egold-coloured embroidery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e135 cm \/ 53.15 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSet contents\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ematching inner stole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePoland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eIntended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ecelebration of the Eucharist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePreparation before dispatch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e7 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Art Christiana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57456234627337,"sku":"URH1502","price":369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/8483\/8153\/files\/black-chasuble-with-gold-cross-band-01.webp?v=1792331058","url":"https:\/\/artchristiana.com\/products\/black-chasuble-with-gold-cross-band","provider":"Art Christiana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
