The Saint Bede Studio recently completed this chasuble according to our Saint Giles design. This simple and elegant chasuble, made from a cream coloured silk blend jacquard, is extremely lightweight and flows beautifully.
These vestments were donated to the National Shrine of Saint Jude in Chicago (USA) in thanksgiving for an important favour granted to the Saint Bede Studio through the intercession of Saint Jude Thaddeus.
The chasuble is ornamented with a braid of the Studio's design, in colours of red, burgundy and gold. This design is directly based upon a Belgian early-20th century chasuble which appears on page 92 of Dom Roulin's well-known study Vestments and Vesture (1931). The image from Dom Roulin's book is reproduced below.
Saint Jude, Apostle of Hope, pray for us.
