Ecru Lector's Scapular with Tapered Front and Gold IHS Embroidery

This elegant ecru lector's scapular is intended as a complement to the attire of a person serving as a lector during the liturgy. Its simple, classic cut drapes neatly over the shoulders and looks polished over an alb, emphasizing the solemn character of service at the altar.

Lector's Scapular and IHS Embroidery

The central section is decorated with gold embroidery featuring the IHS Christogram, one of the most recognizable symbols associated with Jesus Christ. The embroidery is placed on the elongated front section of the scapular, so it remains clearly visible while reading the Word of God and serving in the sanctuary.

The light ecru color combined with the gold embroidery creates a subtle, elegant composition that harmonizes with a white alb. The wide section worn over the shoulders helps keep the scapular properly positioned, while its geometric form gives it a neat and dignified appearance.
