Liturgical use
The brass cover is the binding of the Lectionary or Gospel Book carried in procession to the altar during the Liturgy of the Word. Its decorative richness underlines the sacredness of the Gospel and the centrality of the Word of God in the Christian tradition. Suited to cathedrals, basilicas and parishes that care for the solemn form of Sunday and festive liturgical celebrations.
Craftsmanship
The combination of chiselling and cloisonné enamel requires hours of specialist hand work. The two faces of the volume feature different compositions, suited to the entrance procession and the return of the book to the ambo.
