Round Purple Ciborium Veil with Embroidered Advent Candles

An elegant round ciborium veil designed to respectfully cover the liturgical ciborium used to store the Blessed Sacrament. It is purple and decorated with embroidery depicting Advent candles, complemented by green branches and a decorative botanical motif.

Ciborium veil embroidery and Advent symbolism

The central embroidery evokes Advent, a time of spiritual preparation and anticipation of Christ's birth. The four candles symbolize the successive Sundays of Advent, while lighting them gradually recalls the approaching celebration of Christmas and the growing light of Christ.

The veil's purple color corresponds to the liturgical color of Advent and symbolizes expectation, prayer, reflection, and spiritual preparation. Embroidery in shades of purple, gold, and green stands out clearly against the fabric, creating a distinctly Advent composition.

Purple color, decorative trim, and round shape

The lower edge is finished with a wide decorative trim featuring gold ornaments and decorative stones, giving the entire piece a more solemn and dignified appearance.

The round shape allows the fabric to drape softly and evenly around the ciborium. The veil has a diameter of 21 in (53 cm).
