Red Chasuble with Gold Cross and Roll Collar

A cross embroidered in gold-colored thread stands against the red satin of this chasuble. A roll collar completes the neckline, and an inner stole is supplied. The combination of cross, collar and fabric distinguishes the model when comparing red vestments for the same liturgical celebration.

Embroidery and construction

Gold-colored thread gives the cross a distinct presence on the satin background. Full views help assess the proportions of the front and back, while detailed photographs show the embroidery and collar finish. The roll collar should be considered together with the alb and the celebrant’s preferred neckline.

Liturgical use

In the Roman liturgy, red is associated with the fire of the Holy Spirit, the blood of Christ and the witness of martyrs. It is used on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Pentecost and specified celebrations of apostles, evangelists and martyrs. Follow the calendar and rubrics for the particular celebration. Color alone does not make every decorative motif equally suitable: consider the embroidery alongside the readings and character of the liturgy.

Choosing the chasuble

Compare the measurement in the final table with a comfortable existing chasuble. Check the roll collar, shoulder line and freedom of arm movement over the alb. The cross design can be considered for Palm Sunday, Good Friday and celebrations of martyrs, always following the prescribed liturgical color.

Wearing and storage

Wear the chasuble over the alb and stole, arranging it symmetrically on the shoulders before entering the sanctuary. Check that the arms can be raised freely and that the central embroidery is not folded. After use, allow the fabric to dry fully before hanging it on a broad hanger that supports the shoulders.

Store the vestment in a dry, ventilated wardrobe, protected from strong light and moisture. Leave enough space to prevent other garments pressing against the embroidery and collar. Follow the supplied care label for cleaning, ironing and refreshing; decorative threads, edging and any velvet elements need particular care.
