In this post, we are pleased to present a glimpse of another set of festal vestments, in the Gothic Revival style.

This set is constructed from ecclesiastical brocade and is lined in a shade of lemon taffeta. 

The ornament is formed from matching braids, one wider, one narrow, in colours of crimson and straw-gold upon a green background. This is one of the Studio's unique braids called Saint Edmund and is directly based on a design by AWN Pugin.  It features the sacred monogram " IHS ".

Although not elaborate, this is a beautiful and distinctive set of vestments.

In this Easter Season, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to resume presentations of our festal vestments.

This post features a set of vestments in the Studio's nod to contemporary styles.  This style we call Saint Martin.  It is both long and wide and is especially designed to fold up beautifully when the arms of the celebrant are elevated (as is shewn in the adjacent image).

Tasteful contemporary vestments are made by certain studios in Italy, France and Germany, but we also make them here in Australia at the Saint Bede Studio.  This set has a simple dignity and is made from high quality fabrics.

A damask in ivory and straw-gold is lined with a crimson-red cloth and is ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids called Saint George, forming a TAU in the front and a column at the back.

In this Easter Season, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to resume presentations of our festal vestments.

This set of festal vestments is made in the Gothic Revival style.  The vestments were made from a brocade of bright white and fully-lined in a taffeta muted-gold in colour.

This chasuble is ornamented in the well-known Gothic style,  formed by an orphrey braid based on the work of A.W.N. Pugin.  The colours of this braid are red and gold, with an outlining galloon in the same thread.

In this post, we feature a Festal dalmatic and its maniple.  The set was made from a ecclesiastical brocade in ivory.  A muted green taffeta was used to line these vestments, and they were ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids, called ChiRho.

The Saint Bede Studio takes particular care with all aspects of its vestment-making.  

In this instance, for example, the maniple has been made to an unusually short length in order to be easier for a deacon to wear it adjacent to the dalmatic sleeve.  A long maniple is particularly inconvenient for a deacon, because of his ceremonial actions during Mass.  No regulation requires a maniple to be a particular length, which allows practicality to be a determining factor.

In his sermon at the Papal Funeral, the Dean of the College of Cardinals informed all present that the soul of the late Bishop of Rome is now with God in Heaven.

We are at liberty to disagree with the Cardinal's assertion and continue in charity to offer our prayers for the repose of the soul of the Pope and all the Faithful Departed.

O Lord, do not bring your servant to trial, for no man is holy in your sight unless you grant him forgiveness of all his sins.  We implore you, therefore, do not let the verdict of your judgement go against him, whom the loyal prayer of Christian faith is commending to your mercy.  Rather, by the help of your grace, may he escape the sentence which he deserves, for during his earthly life, he was signed with the Holy Trinity.  You who live and reign forever and ever.  Amen.

A prayer from the old ritual for the burial of the dead.
