What Are Chasubles with Saints?
Chasubles with saints are liturgical vestments whose embroidery carries the image or attributes of a canonized saint — a chasuble (the outermost vestment worn by the priest at Mass) decorated with the likeness of a holy figure. A patron saint is a saint regarded as the heavenly advocate of a place, craft or group. The garment is worn over the alb and the stole. Our collection currently numbers 131 saint chasubles, from $192 to $1162.
How Much Do Chasubles with Saints Cost?
Chasubles with saints in this category range from $192 to $1162. Most models sit in the lower half of the range: 111 of the 131 are priced under $300. The entry point is a simpler design such as Chasuble "Holy Trinity" — $192; the most ornate piece here, Embroidered chasuble Jesus on the cross - purple (190) — $1,162, is at the top of the range.
Which Saints Are Depicted on These Chasubles?
The listings name the saint directly, so the collection covers a wide spread of patrons — 25 different saints and devotional figures appear in the product names. The most frequently repeated are St. Peter and/or St. Paul (23 models), St. John Paul II (20 models) and St. Joseph (9 models). Other named figures include St. Anthony of Padua (5 models), the Holy Spirit (5 models), St. Faustina, St. Therese, St. Stanislaus, St. Barbara, St. Padre Pio, St. Christopher, St. Francis, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Rita, St. Florian, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Anna, St. Sebastian, St. Ambrose, St. Dominic, St. Nicholas, St. Vincent de Paul, St. John the Baptist, St. Clare, the Guardian Angel and Christ the King.
Choosing a saint is usually a question of whose feast the vestment is meant for: the patron of the parish, the titular of the church, or the personal devotion of the priest offering it.
Are These Chasubles Only for a Saint's Feast Day?
No. A saint chasuble is most closely tied to the feast of the saint it depicts and to a patronal feast, but it can also be worn for the votive Mass of that saint or on a day of devotion. Where a design carries a broader theme — Christ the King, the Holy Spirit, the Guardian Angel — it is not tied to one calendar day.
Materials and Embroidery
The saint's figure and its framing are produced by embroidery and applied decoration on a liturgical fabric. Fabric descriptions that appear in the product names here include rosette (12 models), damask (2), velvet (1) and glitter fabric (1). The embroidery is what carries the image, and the exact technique and finish are named on each individual product page.
Can I Order a Custom Saint Chasuble?
If the saint you need is not in the collection, you can ask us about a custom order: the figure, the cut and the fabric can be agreed for a specific parish or patron. Contact us with the saint and the intended liturgical colour, and we will confirm what is possible and the lead time.
Roman and Gothic Cuts
The collection includes both the Roman (conical) cut and the Gothic cut. Roman-cut saint chasubles are the more fitted shape, narrower across the shoulders; Gothic saint chasubles are wider and drape more fully over the shoulders. Both are shown on the individual product pages, and both can carry the same embroidered figure.
How Do I Choose a Chasuble with a Saint?
- Start from the feast. Decide whose feast or which patronal feast the vestment is for — that fixes the saint, and often the liturgical colour of the day.
- Decide the cut. Roman is narrower and more fitted; Gothic is wider and fuller. Pick the silhouette before comparing embroidery.
- Check the figure. Each listing names the saint and shows the design, so you can confirm the image before ordering.
- Mind the fabric. Rosette, damask, velvet and glitter finishes appear in this collection; the fabric affects both the look and how the piece is cleaned.
- Ask about custom work if the saint you need is missing (see above).
Q: Can a deacon wear a chasuble with a saint?
A: No. The chasuble is the vestment of the priest celebrant at Mass; a deacon wears a dalmatic instead.
Q: Where are these saint chasubles made?
A: They are made in Poland. Each product page names the fabric, the figure and the cut of the individual model.
Q: Do the chasubles come with a matching stole?
A: The listing for each model states what is included. Where a matching stole is part of the set it is named on the product page.
