Is this appropriate for a chasuble?

  • I want to make a gift for a special priest and would like to know if I make this pic into an embroidery if it would be appropriate for the back of a traditional chasuble and if it could be used for St Pius X feast day or other? I don't want to purchase the materials or start the work without being sure, it would be a couple years work. I would probably turn it into an oval shape with trim around the edges.

  • It's beautiful, but too big, IMO. Could you just have St. Pius X or Our Lady? That would fit well.

  • I have never seen a chasuble with such detailed imagery, usually they have symbols on them.  Probably more appropriate as an embroidered wall hanging.

  • I think the inclusion of the children and the devil is inappropriate.

  • I think it would be too distracting. Something simple would be better. His Papal coat of arms?

  • I don't like it at all. The little girl does not have a vale on.  The devil looks like adolf hitler to play into Jєωιѕн propoganda.  The snake wrap around the right arm reminds me of what male hasidic Jєωs do, however they wrap it around their left arm, not the right.  And, it is the hasidic Jєω that would represent such a one the church steps on, so it should be on the left arm.  I think Jєωs would prefer it to be on the right arm while they wear such on their left.  What is with the chopped off rose tops?  I do not like the triangle with what looks like hebrew in it.  It all seems diabolically inspired if you ask me.

    Wow, I didn't notice any of those things. Very perceptive.

  • I am the OP-- thanks you guys. I'll keep looking, something less "busy". Maybe I can just use the head and shoulders of St Pius X. I liked his portrait here better than others I've seen, which is why I considered it.Thanks for the input

  • I've never heard of or seen a face on a chasuble. Usually the are decorated with symbols. I even wonder if it is permitted. Who is the resident adviser about such regulations?

    The triangle is a representation of the Trinity, and the Hebrew writing is the Tetragrammaton.  It’s actually a traditional symbol to find in churches.  In other words, you think the Trinity is diabolical.

    It seems you’ve allowed your anti-Jєωιѕн hysteria to cloud what little good judgment you had.

    A commonly used symbol for Pope St. Pius X is the "chi rho" (from the Greek letters):
    .

    .
    It has a "P" and and "X" (can be thought of as Pius X) but it has traditionally referred to the first two letters of Christ in Greek.
    .
    Alternatively you can use this tatoo for a design idea:
    .

    .
    It also includes the "alpha and omega" (beginning and end, a reference to Our Lord).

  • The church has always translated that hebrew into "the lord", and that is quite different from promoting its more proximate pronunciation as seen in the triangle.  Venerating the tetragrammaton has not been a devotion of catholics traditionally.  You find it beginning in the 18th century, but that does not therefore qualify it as "traditional symbol" if you ask me.  Catholic tradition is much richer.
    And, Catholics do not have a monopoly on the triangle, it is more popular among freemasons, who came to power right around that time.  A triangle by itself is not ipso facto representative of the trinity.  And, that triangle is not a triangle by itself, it is hinting more at being an object with six sides.  Look at the 3 offshoots on the sides of the triangles.  That comes across to me as more тαℓмυdic than catholic.  Add the hebrew, and you have a closed case.  That triangle is not hinting at the trinity at all.
    Our lady's mantle is not functioning much like a mantle either.  It is grabbing with its pointed ends, reminding me more of bat wings.  
    How about the pope holding the monstrance with his bare hand as they do in the novus ordo.  Where is the reverence in that?
    This was my post.
