The
linen traditionally required for service at Holy Communion included
an Altar fair linen cloth, a Corporal, Chalice Veil, Pall, Purificator,
Lavabo Towel, and a Credence table cloth. Many of the clergy prefer
their altar linens worked entirely in white embroidery; where color
is not objected to, red, blue, green, gold, or gray, either singularly
or in combination with white embroidery, may produce very beautiful
results. |
