Gold Humeral Veil with Sacred Heart of Jesus Embroidery

Richly worked embroidery depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus decorates the back of the humeral veil. The flaming Heart, surrounded by a crown of thorns, recalls Christ’s love for humanity, His Passion, and the sacrifice made for the salvation of the world. Rays and ornaments featuring vine and grape motifs complete the composition, referring to the Eucharist and the Blood of Christ.

The front ends of the humeral veil feature delicate embroidery depicting a vine and clusters of grapes. The gold fabric has a subtle sheen and harmonizes with the gold and red embroidery elements, giving the vestment a dignified and solemn appearance.
