Smaller eagles, palmette fans, crosses, and geometric details fill the spaces between the principal motifs, leaving very little open ground and giving the fabric the richly ornamented appearance associated with traditional liturgical textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight-pointed star has long been used as a Christian symbol associated with the Nativity and Epiphany, making Tintern Brocade particularly appropriate for Christmas and the weeks following it.
