Green Priest Chasuble with Chi-Rho, Chalice & Eucharistic Embroidery | Church Vestment

The Sundays of ordinary time are not interruptions between the great seasons but the heart of the Church's year — the weeks in which the faithful are nourished week after week at the same altar, by the same Eucharist, in the steady rhythm of a life ordered around the Mass. This green priest chasuble is designed for exactly that sustained Eucharistic nourishment, its white orphrey panel carrying a full composition of Chi-Rho, IHS chalice, wheat, grapevine, and grape clusters across the full length of the chasuble, front and back.

Green is the colour of growth — of the vine putting out new shoots, of the wheat field thickening toward harvest, of the life that the Eucharist feeds from week to week through the long months of ordinary time. The white orphrey panel set against the green chasuble draws the eye to the Eucharistic symbols it carries, the warmth of the gold and amber embroidery contrasting with both the green of the fabric and the white of the orphrey in a composition that reads with clarity from the furthest pews of the nave.

At the top of the orphrey, the Chi-Rho in red announces the Name around which the whole Eucharistic celebration is gathered. Below it, the IHS chalice rises amid wheat sheaves and an autumn grapevine leaf, the sacred monogram on the host completing the identification of the Eucharistic gifts with the person of Christ himself. Grape clusters descend through the lower portion of the orphrey in gold, the fruit of the vine that becomes his Blood, anchoring the composition at the hem with the fullness of what the Mass offers.

Where the golden chasuble carries these same symbols in the register of solemnity and festal splendour, the green chasuble holds them in the quieter register of ordinary time — the Eucharist not as exceptional feast but as weekly sustenance, the bread given not only at Corpus Christi but on the unremarkable Tuesday morning when a handful of parishioners gather before the working day begins. This vestment is made for that ordinary fidelity as much as for the solemn occasion.

Priests seeking this same Eucharistic composition in a more festive ground may also consider our Golden Priest Chasuble with Chi-Rho, Chalice & Eucharistic Embroidery, which carries the same orphrey embroidery on a golden damask brocade ground suited to Corpus Christi and solemn Eucharistic feasts.

The chasuble is sewn from firm green fabric that drapes cleanly over the alb and holds its shape through extended celebrations. The white orphrey panel is edged in gold, and the full perimeter of the garment is finished with a gold trim border. The machine embroidery — including the Chi-Rho, IHS chalice, wheat, grapevine leaf, and grape cluster composition — is worked in quality threads chosen for colour retention, ensuring every element of the orphrey remains vivid through years of regular Sunday use.

Whether worn for a quiet ordinary time Sunday Mass, a weekday Eucharist, or offered as an ordination gift for a priest called to the daily ministry of the altar, this green chasuble holds the fullness of the Eucharistic mystery at its centre — not as exception, but as the steady gift that ordinary time is built around.
