In the religious celebrations we find some recurring accessories and very precise fabrics that accompany the priest during his service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make these garments precious, the sacred vestments, contribute above all the decorations of the fabrics made, such as damask, brocades and chandeliers, and embroideries with polychrome silk and gold yarns, which over time have determined what are the furnishings and sacred garments. They are commonly referred to as vestments<\/strong>, where the vestment means the typical clothing used by the Catholic Church during liturgical services.<\/p>\n\n

Mass services were mainly made of linen, one of the most natural fibers that exist, but nowadays they are also packaged with other fabrics, more or less valuable, and decorated with extreme care and attention. Let\u2019s discover together with Cimmino which are the best fabrics for sacred vestments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The best fabrics for sacred vestments<\/h2>\n\n

Linen<\/strong> is still one of the most used fabrics, because it is light and elegant, dries quickly and resists numerous washes. In addition, its particular texture makes it ideal for performing delicate cross stitch and many other embroidery precious and defined in detail.<\/p>\n\n

Silk and satin<\/strong> were also widely used in antiquity, especially in the religious sphere, being very valuable fabrics, reserved for the highest levels of the social hierarchy. Silk, in particular, was for a long time the exclusive preserve of the ancient Chinese emperors, priests and a few other privileged ones.The history of satin is closely linked to that of silk and for millennia it has been a monopoly of China, gaining popularity in Europe in the twelfth century. Materials such as damask<\/strong>, chandelier<\/strong> and brocade<\/strong> (which have satin as a base) have dressed and adorned the European courts for centuries.<\/p>\n\n

Another natural fabric that is widely used in this area is undoubtedly cotton<\/strong>, with its softness and effectiveness in easily absorbing liquids. It is the ideal fabric for drying the hands of the priest and the chalice. Finally, we find the polyester<\/strong> blend, an elastic and very resistant material that does not require special attention. <\/p>\n\n

In Europe, the ecclesiastical garments have their roots in Roman times, but have undergone various variations over the centuries. Cimmino has made available a wide selection of fabrics for sacred garments, taking into account all the new provisions on liturgy. In addition to the fabrics known in antiquity and in more modern times, there are many others that deserve a mention: let\u2019s find out immediately what they are!<\/p>\n\n

The colours of the sacred vestments<\/h2>\n\n

In addition to selecting the right materials and fabrics, we must also think of the colors of the sacred vestments<\/strong>, each of them with a very precise meaning and to be used in certain liturgical moments.In fact, the vestments worn by the priest during religious celebrations change according to the period in which we find ourselves. The colors were coded in 1969 in the Roman Rite and are four: white, green, red and purple.<\/p>\n\n

White<\/strong> is the sacred colour par excellence, a symbol of purity and joy deriving from the Faith. It is particularly linked to the adoration of Jesus and Our Lady, which is why it is used at any time of the year, regardless of the holiday. After white, the color most used in Sunday and weekday Masses is green<\/strong>, a symbol of hope, perseverance and persevering listening: it accompanies the daily journey of the priests and faithful who turn to them. The purple<\/strong>represents mourning, penance and waiting, for this reason it is used during Lent and Advent, or on the occasion of masses for the dead.Red<\/strong>, on the other hand, symbolizes the Passion of Christ and is used for celebrations such as Pentecost, Good Friday, Palm Sunday and so on.<\/p>\n\n

\"vestment\"<\/figure>\n\n

There are also other uncoded colours, which often recur between the services of the Mass and the sacred vestments, in the decorations and in the embroideries. We are talking about the blue<\/strong>, the color of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the gold<\/strong>, the color of royalty.<\/p>\n\n
