Chalice Veil for the Passion of the Lord and Pentecost

During Mass for the Passion of the Lord and Pentecost, the chalice veil has a distinct liturgical role.

Liturgical use of the chalice veil

Intended to cover the liturgical chalice during the celebration of Mass, it is also particularly suited to memorials of the holy martyrs.

The cross and red liturgical symbolism

At the Passion of the Lord, Pentecost, and memorials of the holy martyrs, red has a liturgical meaning. It symbolizes love, Christ’s Sacrifice, the fire of the Holy Spirit, and martyrdom.

The gold embroidery depicts a stylized cross with a red decorative stone adorning its center. The cross motif recalls Christ’s saving Sacrifice and is one of the most important symbols of the Christian faith. Its decorative, symmetrical form emphasizes the veil’s liturgical purpose, while the stone provides an elegant accent and harmonizes with the fabric’s color scheme.

Jacquard fabric, gold lace and size

Made from decorative red jacquard fabric, the veil features a rich, subtly shimmering floral ornament across its entire surface. The combination of the fabric’s rich texture, gold ornamentation, and stone gives the piece a solemn, formal character.

The edges are finished with decorative gold lace, completing the composition and emphasizing its festive character. The veil measures 19.75 × 19.75 in (50 × 50 cm), allowing it to be arranged neatly on the liturgical chalice.

Carefully made, it combines the symbolism of the cross, the elegance of jacquard fabric, and a decorative stone accent, creating a dignified element of liturgical furnishings suitable for churches, chapels, and sacristies.
