Lenten Purple : 8

Purple vestments


This is a set of vestments in a very different shade of Lenten purple.  It is not a blue-violet, but the colour of a grape, a deep shade, but slightly redder.  

Made from a simple fabric, the chasuble is enriched with a brocade in a shade of crimson-purple and ornamented simply with a knotwork braid in colours of taupe and black. 

Also depicted in an apparel formed from the braid and attached to the amice (not to the chasuble). 

The chasuble is in the Studio's Saint Cuthbert  style, which is very ample and folds beautifully when the arms of the wearer are elevated.
