Priest's Green Chasuble with Chi Rho Design.

Gold thread meshwork embroidery on a very well finished chasuble.

Chi Rho is probably the oldest monogram used for the name of Christ.

The stunning embroidery has to be seen up close. Italian design. European craftsmanship.

DESCRIPTION:

This spectacular gold embroidered chasuble features gold thread meshwork embroidery.

The deep green panels feature a beautifully embroidered gold thread meshwork cross.

The cross is intertwined with gold thread embroidered golden grapevines.

This regal embroidery design is on both front and back of the chasuble.

Also features beautiful edging all the way around, front and back.

The gold cross is a variation of the Chi Rho symbol.

All the embroidery is stitched with golden thread.

Price includes a fully lined matching stole.

Stunning workmanship!



Believers spoke of the cross as the instrument of salvation but it seldom appeared in Christian art unless disguised as an anchor or the Chi-Rho until after Constantine's edict of toleration.

The cross is today the universal image of Christian belief.



INSTEAD OF FLOWERS: It is traditional to give a memorial gift to a family in memory of a loved one. This is an excellent idea, as the family will donate your gift to their parish Church. The Church may keep this gift, or it may be sent to a Catholic Missionary here or overseas. Either way your gift will be a much needed donation. Good use will be made of it.

REMEMBRANCE: A gift in memory of a loved one can be fitting tribute, and can benefit a favorite Catholic institution. Often, words seem an inadequate way to express our sympathy. This Memorial Gift can be that unstated but deeply thoughtful expression of our feelings.

A WISE PERSON ONCE SAID ..... "Flowers are for living. Memorials should be eternal". Certainly, there is a place for flowers in a funeral ceremony, but if you are considering, as so many others are, "How can I help" or "What is a better way to send my condolences?", our unique and comforting memorial gifts will long be remembered as thoughtful and caring.

ETERNAL LIFE: Memorial Gifts can enable God's work long after a loved one has died, and continue what your loved one represented while alive. Your gift can become a "Living Legacy".

NOTE: Green, White/Off White, Red and Purple are the most common chasuble colors. SA146
