Red Ciborium Veil with Embroidered Cross and Central Stone, 21 in (53 cm)

An elegant round ciborium veil intended to cover with dignity the liturgical vessel used to store the Blessed Sacrament. Made from decorative fabric in red with gold ornamentation, it features rich embroidery depicting a stylized cross with a decorative stone at its center.

Ciborium Veil: Cross Embroidery and Stone

The cross motif recalls Christ’s saving Sacrifice and is one of the most important symbols of the Christian faith. The ornamental, symmetrical embroidery gives the veil a solemn, dignified character, while the decorative stone at the center emphasizes the composition and provides an elegant accent to the overall design.

Liturgical Meaning of the Red Color

The color red has particular liturgical significance: it symbolizes love, martyrdom, Christ’s Sacrifice, and the fire of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, the veil is especially well suited to celebrations connected with the Passion of the Lord and Pentecost, as well as commemorations of holy martyrs.

Round Shape, Gold Finish and Size

Its round shape allows the fabric to drape softly and evenly around the ciborium, creating an elegant presentation for the liturgical vessel. Gold ornamentation across the entire surface harmonizes with the embroidery, and the lower edge is finished with subtle gold trim. The veil has a diameter of 21 in (53 cm) and is intended for liturgical use in churches, chapels, religious houses, and sacristies.
