Set of Four Chalice Veils with Jerusalem Cross Embroidery

Chalice Veil Set and Jerusalem Cross Embroidery

An elegant set of four chalice veils intended to cover a liturgical chalice reverently during the celebration of Holy Mass. The set includes chalice veils in the four principal liturgical colors: white, green, red, and purple, allowing the presentation of liturgical vessels to match the character of each season of the church year.

Each chalice veil features central gold embroidery depicting the Jerusalem cross. This symbol consists of a large cross surrounded by four smaller crosses. It is interpreted as a sign of Christ and the four Gospels, as well as a reference to proclaiming the Good News to the four corners of the world. It emphasizes the universality of the Church and the salvific dimension of Christ's sacrifice.

The gold embroidery stands out clearly against each color, giving the chalice veils a classic, solemn appearance. The edges are finished with decorative gold lace, which harmoniously completes the design and emphasizes the liturgical purpose of the set.

Each chalice veil measures 19.5 × 19.5 in (50 × 50 cm), allowing it to be arranged neatly on a liturgical chalice.
