Red Chasuble with Gold Cross – Design V

A gold-colored embroidered cross is the defining motif of this red chasuble. The fifth design in the range has its own decorative composition, shown in the full gallery. An inner stole is included, allowing both pieces to be prepared together before the celebration.

Embroidery and construction

The composition gives the cross the main place within an ordered liturgical design. The gallery includes overall views and close details of the ornament, neckline and fabric surface. Compare these photographs to assess the visibility of the cross and the relationship between the stitching and red ground.

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

Before ordering, compare the length in the final table with the celebrant’s usual chasuble. Use the front, back and worn views to assess the side line and placement of the cross. In the sanctuary, the visibility of the whole composition matters alongside the close detail of the gold-colored embroidery.

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.
