Red Pentecost Pulpit Fall – Descending Dove 

Design Style 1501

This Red Pentecost pulpit fall features a descending dove with outstretched wings, surrounded by a radiant nimbus with rays, symbolizing the Holy Spirit poured out upon the Church. Crafted in either Luther Rose Brocade or Red Lichfield Brocade, this piece is designed to proclaim the power, glory, and fire of Pentecost with unmistakable clarity and beauty.

At the center is the Holy Spirit depicted as a descending dove, with wings fully extended. The surrounding nimbus with radiant rays signifies divine presence, sanctification, and the Spirit proceeding from heaven to dwell among God’s people.

The rich Pentecost red ground recalls the tongues of fire of Acts 2 and the blood-earned boldness of the apostolic Church. Whether chosen in Luther Rose Brocade, with its Reformation-era symbolism, or Red Lichfield Brocade, known for its refined ecclesiastical character, this pulpit fall anchors the sanctuary visually and theologically during the Church’s celebration of the Spirit.

Each piece is made to order by Ecclesiastical Sewing, honoring classical Christian symbolism and liturgical tradition.

Part of The Spirit of Glory Collection, celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit and His complete outpouring upon the Church.
