The Chasuble

Given its different shapes, styles, and depth of embroidered details, the chasuble is arguably one of the most recognizable of the priest's garments that are worn over albs by priests at mass celebrations. In general, Catholic Chasubles are elegant and delicate outer priest vestments embroidered with Christian symbols and numerous types of designs in various colored silk and metal-wrapped threads.

The styles and overall look of modern embroidered chasubles greatly differ from those of medieval times, and there is a prevalence of square-shaped Gothic and Romanstyled chasubles richly embroidered with a Christian cross on the front or back. Similarly, we can see chasubles made of the finest linen and other precious fabrics with embroidered elements in 3D effects gaining momentum.
