Overview
What this piece is
A black damask gothic chasuble with black velvet orphreys embroidered in silver: a radiant cross, palms, white lilies, gothic arches and an anchor.
Made for funerals, Requiem Masses and All Souls. Offered in four standard sizes, or tailored to your own measurements; Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large.
Symbolism
The cross in rays proclaims Christ's victory over death, and the palms are the martyrs' sign of that victory.
White lilies stand for the resurrection of the body, and the anchor is the early Christian sign of hope, 'an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast' (Hebrews 6:19).

Cut to your measurements
Four standard sizes, or cut to your own measurements (Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large)
A black gothic chasuble for funerals and Masses for the dead, cut from black satin with a woven damask pattern and set with a black velvet orphrey embroidered entirely in silver-coloured thread. The back carries a Y-shaped orphrey with a radiant cross, palms and white lilies; the front carries a straight column with a cross, a climbing lily vine and gothic arches.
The embroidery
On the back, the yoke of the Y frames a Latin cross inside a pointed oval of silver rays, flanked by palm fronds and white lilies. Below it the column continues with lilies and a palm, then three gothic arches, each enclosing small crosses, and closes at the hem with an anchor.
The front column opens with a budded cross at the collar. A lily vine climbs beneath it, opening into white lilies, and the panel ends in a pair of gothic arches. Every band is edged in silver-coloured braid, and the outer hem is bound in grey.
Liturgical use
Black is the colour of mourning in the Roman Rite and in many Anglican and Lutheran churches. This chasuble is made for funeral Masses, Requiem Masses and All Souls' Day (2 November), and for Masses for the dead through the year. Where local custom uses violet or white at funerals instead, a black vestment may still be worn wherever it is permitted.
Cut and construction
Full gothic cut, wide across the shoulders and falling in a deep curve over the arms, with no fastening. The body is black satin with a woven damask pattern; the orphreys are black velvet, edged in silver-coloured braid, with the embroidery stitched into the velvet. The chasuble is lined in grey satin.
