Saint Patrick's Cathedral New York


Red vestments

Quite by chance, I found a delayed broadcast of the Good Friday Liturgy of the Lord's Suffering and Death from Saint Patrick's Cathedral, New York.

Much to my surprise, I discovered that the celebrant, being the Cardinal-Archbishop of New York, wore for this solemn liturgy a red chasuble in the Borromeon form, made some years ago by the Saint Bede Studio.

I am not quite sure how these vestments came to be used, but we hope the Cardinal and those gathered in the Cathedral found them dignified.  This was a chasuble made of crimson-red brocade, ornamented with a burgundy and old gold damask in the form of a TAU and outlined in galloon.
