This beautiful border incorporates many Christian symbols: The Ave Maria is on a five-lobed shield (the five lobes representing the wounds of Christ on the cross); the fleur de lis elements symbolize female virtue and spirituality as a reference to Mary; and the cross with 3 "buds" at the end of each arm represent the Holy Trinity.
This lovely 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.
