Red Patterned Satin Chasuble with Embroidered Cross

An embroidered cross stands against the patterned red fabric of this satin chasuble. The combination of textile pattern and gold-colored embroidery gives the garment two layers of decoration to consider together. A roll collar finishes the neckline, and an inner stole is included.

Embroidery and construction

The patterned satin provides a decorative background for the cross without changing the main subject of the embroidery. Full views and close-ups help distinguish the fabric pattern from the stitched motif. The nine photographs include collar, front, back and worn views, making it possible to assess the composition at different scales.

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.
