Passiontide Vestments : 1

Red vestments


According to the Missale Romanum of 1970, Passion Sunday of the Palms is celebrated with red vestments.  Although not stipulated in any of the liturgical books, the shade of red vestments used on Palm Sunday and Good Friday ought not be a fiery red.  Such a fiery red is more suitable for Masses of the Holy Spirit.

This is a set of vestments in a deep shade of red.  It is simple, but dignified.   

Made from ecclesiastical brocade but unlined, the chasuble is ornamented with a dominant TAU formed from another brocade in colours of burgundy and old gold. 

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