What Is a Chalice Veil?
A chalice veil is a square piece of fabric used to cover the chalice when it is not in use during Mass. It is part of the complete chalice set, which typically includes the veil, burse, corporal, purificator, and pall.
Liturgical Significance
The chalice veil serves as a sign of reverence for the sacred vessel that will hold the Precious Blood of Christ. By covering the chalice before and after the consecration, the veil reminds us of the hidden nature of Christ's presence in the Eucharist.
Materials and Design
Our chalice veils are crafted from fine silk, brocade, or damask in all liturgical colors. They feature embroidered crosses, IHS monograms, or Eucharistic symbols on the front, with a stiffened construction that allows the veil to stand properly over the chalice.
Matching Sets
Chalice veils are designed to match the corresponding chasuble, stole, and maniple of the same liturgical color and design series.
