The IHS monogram is one of the best-known Christian symbols associated with the name of Jesus. It emphasizes Christ’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament. The contrast between the embroidery and the fabric creates a classic design with an elegant appearance. This treatment is suitable for liturgical seasons with a more penitential and reflective character.

In the liturgy, purple symbolizes penance, conversion, prayer, and preparation. The veil is especially appropriate for Advent and Lent. It also suits other celebrations in which purple is used as the liturgical color.

Gold Lace Finish, Ciborium Sizing and Liturgical Use

Decorative gold lace complements the embroidery and enhances the veil’s dignified appearance. The two available options allow it to be matched to the size of the ciborium.

Careful workmanship expresses reverence for the Blessed Sacrament and enhances the beauty of liturgical celebrations. The combination of classic IHS symbolism and the traditional liturgical color purple makes this an elegant and practical addition to any church, chapel, or sacristy.
