Ecru Lector's Pallium with Gold IHS Embroidery

This elegant ecru lector's pallium is intended to complement the attire of a lector serving during the liturgy. Its simple, classic cut rests neatly on the shoulders and looks appropriate when worn over an alb, emphasizing the solemn character of service at the altar.

Lector's Pallium and IHS Embroidery

The central part is decorated with gold embroidery featuring the IHS christogram, one of the best-known symbols associated with Jesus Christ. The embroidery is placed on the elongated front section, so it remains clearly visible while reading the Word of God and serving in the sanctuary.

The light ecru shade, combined with gold embroidery, creates a restrained, elegant combination that harmonizes with a white alb. The broad shoulder section helps keep the pallium properly positioned, while its geometric form gives it a neat, dignified appearance.
