Red Chasuble with Embroidered IHS Cross

This red chasuble features an embroidered cross incorporating the IHS Christogram. The confirmed composition is 100% polyester, the neckline has a stand-up collar, and a matching inner stole is included.

Decoration and finish

The principal feature is embroidered IHS cross. The IHS Christogram provides a direct reference to the name of Jesus and remains clearly legible within the embroidered composition. 8 photographs show the complete chasuble, front and back views, the neckline, the embroidery and close details of the finish so that the scale and workmanship can be assessed before ordering.

Liturgical use

In the Roman liturgy, red is associated with the Passion of Christ, the fire of the Holy Spirit and the witness of martyrs. It is used on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Pentecost and specified celebrations of apostles, evangelists and martyrs. The calendar and rubrics of the particular celebration should always determine the color. The decoration gives this model its individual character without replacing those liturgical rules.

Choosing the chasuble

Compare the measurement in the final table with a chasuble that already fits comfortably in the sacristy. Review the full-length photographs to judge the overall fall, shoulder coverage, collar shape and position of the principal decoration. The close-up images help assess the relation between the embroidery, applied details and red ground.

Wearing and storage

Wear the chasuble over the alb and stole, arranging it symmetrically on the shoulders before entering the sanctuary. Smooth the decorated section so that the motif lies flat and remains centered. After the celebration, allow the garment to dry fully before placing it on a broad hanger that supports the shoulders.

Store the chasuble in a dry, ventilated wardrobe, protected from strong light and moisture. Leave enough space so that other garments do not press against the embroidery, applied decoration or collar. Follow the supplied care label for cleaning and ironing, and protect decorated areas from excessive heat and pressure.
