Vestments for Pentecost
The Cardinal today wore a chasuble from one of the most magnificent sets of vestements owned by the Cathedral; on a rich byzantine fabric, the chasuble is decorated with gold flames on velevt bands. The dalmatic boasts applied pendants set with moonstones.
The copes, used today for the Divine Office, are especially magnificent.
The set was created for Cardinal Francis Bourne in 1928 by A. E. Grosse of Bruges, Belgium.s
