Chasubles

Catholic and Anglican clergy honour sacred tradition with appropriate reverence wearing liturgical chasubles. These robes enhance the dignity of Holy Mass and sacraments. Our chasubles feature traditional ecclesiastical trimmings: gold or silver galloons and symbolic embroidery. They are available in all liturgical colours: white, gold, green, red, pink, purple, blue and black.

The chasubles for catholic priests are primary vestments for the Holy Mass celebration. They are a visual symbol of serving Christ and represent the virtue of charity, which should cover all actions of the priest, just as the chasuble covers all other vestments.

Gothic Chasubles for Catholic Priests

A Gothic chasuble follows the venerable medieval tradition of full vestments. Its distinctive shape drapes over the shoulders and extends to the front and back. It features quality fabric with decorative orphreys in gold or silver. The Y-shape recalls the outstretched arms of Christ on the Cross. The Gothic chasuble is associated with solemn celebrations. Many parishes maintain it for major feasts.

Roman Chasubles Catholic

Priests choose Roman chasuble because of their tailored appearance. It is shorter at the sides than Gothic chasuble, so it is easier to move while wearing it. Typically, this priest chasuble has a column or pillar design. It became widespread following liturgical reforms.

Semi-Gothic Catholic Priest Chasuble

Semi-Gothic chasubles are an option between the fuller Gothic and tailored Roman chasuble. A moderate cut makes them a practical choice for parish use. The semi-Gothic chasubles typically feature orphreys that recall the Gothic tradition.

Conical Priest Chasuble

Conical chasubles, also known as Bernini chasubles, follow the earliest form of this sacred vestment. Their tent-like shape drapes fully around the celebrant. These vestments are valued for their historical authenticity. Though more ample than other styles, well-designed conical chasubles are comfortable for liturgical use.

Christmas Chasubles for Catholic Priests

Christmas chasuble catholic are intended for the joyful celebration of the Nativity of Our Lord. They are available in traditional white or gold and feature special orphreys and embroidery depicting symbols of the Incarnation: stars, angels or the Holy Family. The robes mark the festive atmosphere of the Christmas season. Additionally, we offer vestments with saints.

Silk Chasuble for Priests

Silk chasubles are made from the finest ecclesiastical silks. The vestments feature a subtle lustre that captures and reflects light. Because of the nobility of the material, the priests save them for the highest liturgical occasions. Compared to the chasubles made from synthetic fabrics, silk chasubles are lighter, more breathable and more elegant.

Caring for Your Chasuble: Catholic

Looking after a catholic chasuble is not complicated. The robe will last longer if you hang it on wide hangers and keep it in a cabinet or wardrobe. Do not rush to put it away after the Mass; let it breathe for a while. In case of stains, it is worth finding a cleaner who knows their way around church textiles.
