Red Satin Cross Chasuble – Design III

Red satin, an embroidered cross and a roll collar form the principal features of this chasuble. The satin is 100% polyester, and the set includes an inner stole. This is the third cross design in the range, with its own arrangement of the ornament shown in the product photographs.

Embroidery and construction

The embroidered cross organizes the central decoration, and the roll collar finishes the upper part of the garment. The two product photographs show the model and its overall proportions. Use them to compare the position of the cross, the shoulder line and the fall of the fabric rather than assuming details not shown.

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

Use the final measurement table when comparing this model with the celebrant’s usual vestment. The chasuble should fall freely over the alb and leave the arms unrestricted. For use by several priests, assess the roll collar and shoulder proportions; the cross motif is relevant to Passion celebrations and the memory of martyrs.

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.
