Red chasuble embroidered with St. Maximilian Kolbe has been prepared as a liturgical garment that aids the faithful in reflecting on heroic love and the testimony of martyrdom. The deep red emphasizes sacrifice and selflessness, while also indicating a readiness to give one’s life in the spirit of the Gospel. This symbolism makes the red chasuble embroidered with St. Maximilian Kolbe perfectly suitable for celebrations related to anniversaries, thematic services, parish festivities, as well as liturgies commemorating the martyrs of the 20th century.
The central band in a light ecru shade is adorned with carefully crafted embroidery depicting the saint in a Franciscan habit, holding a fragment of a striped uniform with a camp number — a sign of his journey through Auschwitz and the sacrifice made out of love. The image of the Saint is presented in a dignified and clear manner, serving as a reminder of spiritual strength, courage, and complete dedication to humanity. The golden floral ornament creates a harmonious frame, present both on the front and on the back of the garment.
The fabric is soft, lightweight, and drapes elegantly during the celebration, ensuring comfort and aesthetics. The ornament of the cross on the back emphasizes the spiritual unity of the saint’s act with the Sacrifice of Christ. This liturgical composition makes the red chasuble embroidered with St. Maximilian Kolbe not only a worthy garment but also a catechesis – a reminder of the power of love and dedication.
The set includes a matching inner stole, maintained in the same style, which emphasizes the liturgical coherence of the ensemble. The design was created in the Urbanowicz Haft Polska workshop – a place where quality craftsmanship meets classical aesthetics and attention to every detail.
