Embroidery design on alb | Price of liturgical vestment

The alb is a liturgical vestment worn by Catholic priests and deacons during Mass. Its origins date back to the early centuries of Christianity, when the faithful began to wear white tunics to symbolize purity and holiness. Over time, these tunics evolved into what we know today as the alb.

Different aspects that affect the purchase price must be considered when purchasing an alb, as with other priestly vestments. One of these variables is the embroidery or design incorporated into the priestly garment.

In this case, the alb has embroidered adornments on the cuffs and hem.

• Embroidered design on the alb cuffs

The cuffs of the alb are embroidered with golden thread Crosses. The Christian Cross is one of the most well-known symbols of the Catholic faith. It represents the Cross on which Our Savior Jesus gave his life for the forgiveness of our sins.

Each cuff has two Crosses.

• Embroidered design on the alb hem

The other part of the ankle-length vestment usually embroidered is the front hem. In this case, the alb has two Eucharistic elements embroidered on it.

The design of the golden sheaves symbolizes the Eucharistic bread, the body of Christ. Bread is considered sacred and represents the very substance of spiritual life. The fact that the sheaves are golden highlights their importance and divine value.

On the other hand, the grapes represent the Eucharistic wine's design, Christ's blood. Wine is a symbol of celebration and Communion with God.
