This fig leaf border design was created specifically for vestments and is from the
Embroidery Pattern Catalogue, a publication offering iron-on embroidery transfers that was published in the mid to late 1800s by the Thomas Brown & Sons company of Manchester, England. Many of those traditional Christian patterns were hand drawn reproductions of designs from the 13
th and 14
th centuries.
The fig is mentioned many times in the Bible and taught the Israelites to respect and honor the Maker of the fig tree, as much as they respected the potential of the tree.
