Lent Crown of Thorns Chi Rho Pulpit Fall – Kyrie Eleison Collection
Design Style 1357
Symbol of Christ’s Passion, Mercy, and Victory Over Sin
This violet brocade Lenten pulpit fall from the Kyrie Eleison Collection features an elegant Chi Rho—the ancient monogram of Christ—encircled by branches and thorns in a crown motif, a powerful reminder of the Passion. The deep violet fabric symbolizes repentance and humility, while the embroidered Kyrie Eleison (“Lord, have mercy”) grounds the design in prayerful devotion.
The Crown of Thorns represents Christ’s suffering and kingship—He who wore a crown of pain to win a crown of glory.
“And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head.” — Matthew 27:29
“By His wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5
At the heart of the design, the Chi Rho—formed by the first two Greek letters of Christos—stands for Christ’s triumph over death. Surrounded by the thorns, it proclaims that even in suffering, Christ reigns victorious.
“He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross.” — Philippians 2:8
“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” — Philippians 2:10
The branches woven through the crown recall both the wood of the Cross and the new life that springs from it.
“I am the vine; you are the branches.” — John 15:5
Together, these elements create a profound visual meditation on sacrifice, redemption, and mercy, inviting worshippers to reflect on the depth of Christ’s love throughout Lent and Holy Week.

What I love about ecclesiastical sewing is the quality of their fabrics and the selection of liturgical fabrics that can be hard to find otherwise. I also Like the fact that if there is a question about anything I can email and communicate with a real person not a tangle of phone prompts and artificial voice systems. That’s so refreshing.
