{"product_id":"rose-chasuble-pax-cross-gaudete-laetare","title":"Rose Chasuble with PAX Cross for Gaudete and Laetare Sunday","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rose gothic chasuble for the two Sundays of the year that call for it, Gaudete and Laetare, with a gold and rose budded cross above the word PAX and three quatrefoil medallions running down the orphrey. The tone is a muted, warm rose rather than a bright pink, which is what the colour is meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe embroidery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA narrow gold galloon braid marks out the orphrey panel and follows the neckline and the whole curve of the hem. At the head of the panel a budded cross with fleur-tipped arms is worked in gold over deeper rose. Beneath it the word PAX is set in gold letters inside a band of strapwork, and below that three quatrefoil medallions each hold a small cross in rose and gold, linked by curling strapwork. A foliate scroll closes the panel at the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is left plain, with a small gold cross at the neck and the same gold braid along the hem, so the colour itself carries the vestment when the priest turns to the altar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRose is worn on \u003cstrong\u003eGaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent, and Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both take their names from the first word of the entrance antiphon, Rejoice, and the lightened colour signals that the feast is near.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts use is optional: where no rose vestment is kept, violet is worn on both days. Rose is not used on any other day of the year, and it does not replace violet elsewhere in Advent or Lent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull gothic cut, wide across the shoulders and falling in a deep curve over the arms to a rounded hem, with no fastening. The cloth is a soft-finish rose that holds the muted tone under artificial light rather than reading pink, and the embroidery is stitched into the panel rather than applied as a patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing and made to measure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake one of the four graded standard sizes from the size guide on this page, or choose Made to Measure and send us your own figures. Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large. For a parish set that will be worn by whoever is celebrating, a standard size is usually the better choice; choose Made to Measure when it is being cut for one priest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering for a date\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 5–7 days, and delivery typically takes a further 10–15 days. Gaudete and Laetare are fixed dates in the calendar and orders cluster before both, so order early or write to \u003ca href=\"mailto:support@theclergycouture.com\"\u003esupport@theclergycouture.com\u003c\/a\u003e and we will tell you what is still possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chasubles\"\u003echasubles\u003c\/a\u003e and rose vestments, browse what we make for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/advent-vestments\"\u003eAdvent\u003c\/a\u003e and for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lent-vestments\"\u003eLent\u003c\/a\u003e, or ask about \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/custom-vestments\"\u003ecustom and made to measure vestments\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":49379935256811,"sku":"TCC-CHS-ROS-PAX-010-S","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":50526124769515,"sku":"TCC-CHS-ROS-PAX-010-M","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":50526124802283,"sku":"TCC-CHS-ROS-PAX-010-L","price":239.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra Large","offer_id":50526124835051,"sku":"TCC-CHS-ROS-PAX-010-XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure","offer_id":49379935355115,"sku":"TCC-CHS-ROS-PAX-010-MTM","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/tcc-rose-chasuble-pax-cross-front_2d6f0b48-f7a4-4e82-a52d-3627cc86a6f2.jpg?v=1788899690","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/rose-chasuble-pax-cross-gaudete-laetare","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
