Ciborium Veil with Embroidered Agnus Dei on Jacquard Fabric

This ciborium veil presents the Agnus Dei, one of the most important Christological symbols, representing Christ, who brings salvation through His sacrifice.

Liturgical use of the ciborium veil

It is intended to provide a dignified covering for the liturgical ciborium, the vessel used to store the Blessed Sacrament. The piece is suitable for churches, chapels, religious houses, and sacristies.

Agnus Dei symbolism and color

The Agnus Dei refers to Christ, who brings salvation to the world through His sacrifice. The banner topped with a cross symbolizes His victory over death and the Resurrection. The Alpha Omega symbols remind us that Christ is the beginning and the end of all things.

The piece is made in a light, festive color scheme.

Round shape, cutout and gold trim

The round form has a cutout that allows the fabric to fit neatly around the ciborium and its finial. This lets the material drape well around the vessel, creating an elegant, harmonious setting.

The lower edge is finished with a wide decorative gold trim, enriched with ornamental elements resembling stones. This gives the piece a formal, solemn character.

Carefully made, it underscores reverence for the Blessed Sacrament and the dignity of the ciborium intended to hold consecrated altar bread. The Agnus Dei, victorious cross, and Alpha Omega give it a particularly deep Paschal and Eucharistic character.
