Overview

What this piece is

For Gaudete Sunday in Advent and Laetare Sunday in Lent. Offered in four standard sizes, or tailored to your own measurements; Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large.

Symbolism

Gaudete ('Rejoice') and Laetare ('Be joyful') take their names from the first words of the Entrance Antiphon; rose is violet lightened by the joy of the coming feast.

The rose bearing a cross joins that joy to the Passion, and the lit candle on the front recalls the third candle of the Advent wreath.

Details

About this vestment

Custom and made to measure

A rose-coloured gothic chasuble for the two Sundays of the year when rose may be worn. The body is rose satin woven with a damask pattern, and the gold orphreys carry a heraldic rose bearing a cross, a climbing vine of rose blossoms and, on the front, a single lit candle at the hem.

01

The embroidery

On the back, a broad Y-shaped gold orphrey frames a heraldic rose with a cross at its heart, set in a burst of gold rays at the centre of the yoke. Rose sprays run out along both arms of the Y, and a long vine of roses and leaves climbs the column to the hem, worked in rose, dusky pink and green thread on the gold ground.

The front column opens with the same rose and cross at the collar, continues with a rose vine, and ends with a lit candle at the hem. The orphreys are edged in gold-coloured braid, and the outer hem and sleeves are bound with a gold trim.

02

Liturgical use

Rose may be worn in place of violet on Gaudete Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, and Laetare Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, where that is the custom. It marks the midpoint of each penitential season with a note of joy at the coming feast. It is not worn on other days.

03

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 rose satin with a woven damask pattern; the orphreys are gold satin embroidered with coloured and gold-coloured thread, and the chasuble is lined in a champagne satin.

04

Sizing and Made to Measure

Choose one of the four standard sizes from the size guide on this page, or choose Made to Measure and enter your own measurements. Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large.

05

Ordering for a date

Orders are dispatched within 5–7 business days; delivery then takes an estimated 10–15 business days to the United States, or up to 21 business days elsewhere, with a faster Rush option at checkout. Gaudete Sunday falls in mid-December, so order early if you need it this Advent.

  • Hang on a broad padded hanger and never fold across the embroidered orphrey.
  • Rose fades quickly in daylight. Keep the vestment in a closed garment bag between its two Sundays.
  • Release creases with light steam held away from the cloth rather than an iron.

FAQs

Before you order

Should I choose a standard size or Made to Measure?

A standard size chosen by height suits most priests. Use the size guide on this page and take the row your height falls in.

Choose Made to Measure if you fall outside those ranges, want a particular hem length, or are buying a gift and know the wearer's measurements. Enter the measurements on this page before adding to cart. Made to Measure is priced the same as Extra Large.

How should I care for an embroidered satin chasuble?

Dry clean only. Tell the cleaner the vestment carries dense metallic and coloured embroidery, so the orphrey must not be pressed flat.

  • Hang the chasuble on a broad padded hanger and never fold it across the embroidered panel.
  • Light colours yellow and deep colours fade in strong light, so keep it in a closed garment bag away from daylight.
  • Release creases with light steam held away from the cloth rather than an iron.
How long will delivery take, and will I pay duties?

Orders are dispatched within 5–7 business days. Standard delivery then takes an estimated 10–15 business days to the United States and up to 21 business days elsewhere; a faster Rush option is offered at checkout.

We pay duties and import taxes on orders to the US, UK and Europe. For other countries, local customs charges may apply on arrival. If you need the chasuble for a particular date, write to support@theclergycouture.com before ordering.
