There are many chasuble models: gothic chasuble, semi-gothic chasuble, monastic chasuble, St. Thomas Becket chasuble etc. Each of our items can be made in the model you prefer.
Arte Ricami manufactures chasubles in all liturgical colors: white chasuble, green chasuble, purple chasuble, red chasuble. In addition, Marian chasubles and black chasubles for funeral celebrations are available.

Our hand embroidered chasubles

Embroidery in the chasuble is present on the central band. Embroidery can be provided on both the front and the back. In some models embroidery may also be provided on the entire perimeter of the chasuble. Priestly chasubles may be embroidered in metallic thread, bouillon and and silk threads or Richelieu stitch. The tradition of hand embroidery in gold metallic thread is well suited to solemn chasubles for important celebrations such as priestly ordinations or patronal feasts. With the same embroidery and fabric we also make the dalmatic upon request. The chasuble is always complete with a priestly stole.

In addition to hand-embroidered chasubles, we have a special collection of hand-loom woven chasubles.

What does the chasuble symbolize?

The term chasuble literally means small house and indicates the liturgical robe of the priest, who, by wearing it, celebrates Mass In persona Christi. The symbolic function of the chasuble, in fact, is to envelop the priest and depersonalize him in order to operate on behalf of the Holy Spirit.
This sacred vestment, derived from the ancient Roman robes, underwent various changes over the centuries: it began as a wide, foot-length robe, later became shorter, leaving the arms uncovered, and finally, following the Second Vatican Council it returned to a shape similar to the original cut
