Ecru Lector's Scapular with Chalice Embroidery

An elegant ecru lector's scapular is designed to complement a lector's attire during the liturgy. Its classic form sits neatly on the shoulders and looks well over a white alb, giving the overall attire a neat, solemn character.

Chalice Embroidery and Symbolism

Embroidery: the front features a subtle communion chalice motif, complemented by a delicate botanical ornament. The chalice is one of the most recognizable liturgical symbols and directly refers to the Eucharist and Christ's Sacrifice. This understated embroidery keeps the lector's scapular elegant and restrained.

The light ecru fabric harmonizes with a white alb. The shape narrows toward the bottom, giving the lector's scapular a classic, orderly appearance.
