Embroidered Application of St. John the Baptist has been designed as a vivid iconographic representation of one of the most important prophets of the New Testament – the one who prepared the way for the Lord. The image depicts the Saint in a simple garment, holding a cross, symbolizing his mission of proclaiming the truth, the call to conversion, and the readiness to give his life for the sake of the Gospel. This representation is strong, ascetic, and deeply rooted in biblical tradition.
The symbolism of the embroidery refers to the life and teachings of St. John the Baptist as the prophet of the desert, the witness of Christ, and a model of humility. The cross indicates the foretelling of suffering and salvation, and the determined stance of the Saint reminds us of the courage to proclaim the Word of God without compromise. The application brings an element of reflection on vocation, fidelity to conscience, and readiness for spiritual transformation into the liturgy.
The product is made from the highest quality embroidery threads, allowing for precise rendering of the details of the face, garments, and symbolic elements. The meticulous craftsmanship ensures durability and aesthetics even with intensive use. The size 20 × 50 cm gives the application a representative character, making it a striking central motif.
Embroidered Application of St. John the Baptist is intended for sewing onto chasubles, copes, church banners, and other liturgical textiles, especially during patronal celebrations, baptismal ceremonies, and penitential and preparatory periods.
Urbanowicz Haft Polska – sacred craftsmanship, where biblical truth, precision of execution, and liturgical dignity create a coherent and lasting value.
