Violet Lent Pulpit Fall with Pelican in Her Nest Kyrie Eleison Collection
Design Style 1359
This violet brocade Lenten pulpit fall features the ancient Christian symbol of the Pelican in Her Nest, feeding her young with her own lifeblood. In early Church tradition, the pelican was believed to wound her own breast to save her starving chicks—a powerful image of Christ’s self-emptying love poured out for the salvation of the world.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” — Matthew 26:28
During Lent, we remember Christ’s Passion—the suffering He willingly embraced so that we might have life. The violet brocade reflects repentance, humility, and preparation of heart. The embroidered pelican calls the faithful to contemplate the Eucharistic mystery:
Christ does not simply save from afar—
He gives Himself entirely.
“The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” — John 6:51
As part of the Kyrie Eleison Collection, this pulpit fall invites the Church to pray the ancient cry of the penitent:
“Lord, have mercy.”
Ideal for Lent, Passiontide, Holy Week, or feasts focused on the Blessed Sacrament, this piece brings visual depth and reverence to the sanctuary.

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.
