This unique design is the IHS Christogram made out of branches of an olive tree, an ancient symbol of peace.
This 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.
When digitizing for machine embroidery we attempted to stay as true to the original design as possible.
