Embroidered priest vestments B-11 cream/bordeaux

Vestment embroidered with arabesques and flowers.

The Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos was the basis for the conception of this model, being the source of inspiration, and the embroidery as a style can be found in the workshops of the Cretan school from the 16th century.

The priestly vestment is adorned with rich floral embroidery that begins at the front, from the chest, and ends at the back of the phelonion forming a central element that rises almost to the icon. The epitrachelion features crosses beautifully framed by floral elements, a pattern also found on the cuffs, belt, and the coverings for the Holy Vessels. The crimson color of the embroidery reminds us of Christ’s Blood shed on the Cross, as well as the blood of martyrs, therefore these vestments can be worn on the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross or during the celebration of martyr saints, and also at Christmas, in this case the red/burgundy reminding us of the Nativity of the Lord. The beauty and elegance of this priestly vestment is complemented by the embroidered galloon that outlines each element of the vestment.

The exceptional quality of the embroidery threads and other materials that make up the vestments ensures that this product retains its beauty and durability over time.

Upon request, this vestment embroidered with arabesques can be made in any color desired by the client, and the embroidery is done in tone with the chosen color.
