Church Lectern Cover for Ordinary Time with Jerusalem Cross Embroidery

For Ordinary Time, this church lectern cover underscores the dignity of the place where the Word of God is proclaimed and complements the sanctuary as an aesthetic, symbolic part of liturgical decor.

Church Lectern Cover in Liturgical Use

It is especially suited to the liturgy of Ordinary Time, when green predominates as a sign of spiritual growth and hope. It may also be used for celebrations connected with evangelization, the Church’s missionary character, and devotions of a prayerful or formative nature. The universal symbolism of the Jerusalem cross makes it a fitting decoration for the lectern during many celebrations and daily liturgies.

The Jerusalem Cross and Green Liturgical Color

Green, as a liturgical color, signifies hope, spiritual life, growth in faith, and daily perseverance with Christ.

The central embroidered motif is the Jerusalem cross, shown as one large cross surrounded by four smaller crosses.

In Christian tradition, it carries rich meaning. It is most often read as a sign of Christ and the four Gospels spreading throughout the world, and as an expression of the Church’s missionary calling. It also evokes the Holy Land and Jerusalem’s Christian heritage, signifying faith, unity, and the universality of the Church.
