Chalice Linen Set embroidered with a purple IHS motif

Purple Chalice Linen Set with IHS embroidery

This liturgical set is a distinctive combination of deep purple fabric and exceptionally precise gold embroidery. The central element of the set is the pall, which draws attention with the classic IHS monogram surmounted by a cross. The initials are surrounded by rich gold ornamentation composed of vine leaves, wheat ears, and floral scrollwork. The embroidery decorating the pall covers almost the entire surface, extending to the elegant gold finish along the edges. The purificator and towel, in turn, are marked by noble simplicity — they are made from pure white fabric, accented with a small gold cross and an elegant purple wave-shaped edging along the lower edge.

High-quality materials and elegant finishing

The set has been designed with durability and an impeccable appearance during every Holy Mass in mind. The pall and corporal are made from high-quality polyester fabric — 100% polyester — finished with a special coating. As a result, the fabric is less prone to soiling and easier to iron. The rich embroidery on the pall is worked with premium gold threads in a dense stitch, giving it a three-dimensional character. The purificator and towel are made from absorbent, natural white cotton fabric, which is perfectly suited for liturgical use.

What does the purple Chalice Linen Set include?

The set consists of four carefully finished elements, essential for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:

Chalice pall — approx. 17 × 17 cm, made from purple polyester with a protective coating. It stands out with elegant gold embroidery featuring a Eucharistic motif — IHS, vine, and wheat ears — and a wavy gold edging. Stiffened, it is used to reverently cover the chalice.

Corporal — approx. 47 × 47 cm, white, made from polyester with a stain-resistant coating. Decorated with gold IHS embroidery in the corners, with the edges finished with a subtle embroidered wave pattern. It forms the sacred space on the altar on which the chalice and paten rest.

Purificator — approx. 47 × 24 cm, sewn from highly absorbent white cotton. Decorated with an embroidered gold cross in the centre and a purple wavy border. Intended for the purification — wiping — of the liturgical vessels.

Lavabo towel — approx. 47 × 24 cm, made from cotton and visually matching the purificator, with a gold cross and purple finish. It is used to dry the priest’s hands during the lavabo rite.

Use of the set during the liturgical year

Purple Chalice Linen is assigned to the two most important penitential seasons, marked by joyful expectation, in the Church calendar: Advent and Lent. This set harmonises perfectly with the celebrant’s purple chasuble and the other paraments of the sanctuary during these liturgical seasons. Thanks to its high-quality workmanship and the fact that the set is supplied in an elegant box with a window, it is an excellent gift idea for a first Mass or a priestly ordination jubilee.
