Black Chasuble with Embroidered Orphrey and Cross-Adorned Collar

An elegant black liturgical chasuble has a classic, understated style. Subtle gold details accent the deep black, giving the vestment a solemn and dignified character appropriate for mourning and prayerful liturgies.

Black Chasuble with Decorative Orphrey and Gold Crosses

An embroidered orphrey with a delicate ornamental pattern runs down the center of the front and back of the chasuble, with regularly spaced gold crosses. The cross motif recalls Christ’s Passion and death, while also expressing Christian hope in the Resurrection and eternal life.

Decorative fabric is also used for the collar, which features crosses, and for the sleeve finishes, giving the vestment a cohesive, harmonious appearance. Gold trim subtly sets off the edges of the vestment against the black fabric.
