Embroidered Green Velvet Altar Linen Set

This altar linen set combines a green velvet chalice pall with white pieces decorated with gold cross embroidery. The center of the pall features raised embroidery of an IHS monogram surrounded by rays, and gold ornamental scrolls cover its entire surface. The pall's edge is finished with gold fringe lace. Gold cross embroidery is repeated on the corporal, purificator, and lavabo towel, appearing as diagonal crosses in the corporal's corners and as a straight cross centered on the other pieces.

Velvet, Gold Embroidery, and Lace in the Catholic Altar Linen Set

The pall is made of green velvet with internal stiffening and a stain-resistant finish, which makes it easier to keep clean and maintain an attractive appearance. The corporal is sewn from 100% PE polyester fabric. The purificator and lavabo towel are made of cotton. The edges of the corporal, purificator, and lavabo towel are finished with white scalloped cut-out edging.
