Violet Lent Superfrontal with Pelican in Her Piety & Cross Embroidery
Kyrie Eleison Collection
Design Style 3319
This violet brocade Lenten superfrontal features the traditional symbol of the Pelican in Her Piety—a mother pelican who wounds her own breast to feed her young. In early Christian symbolism, the pelican represents Christ pouring out His own life for the salvation of His children.
“This is My Body, given for you… This is My Blood, poured out for many.” — Luke 22:19–20
The embroidered crosses that frame the design recall the Passion of Christ, His suffering, and the redemption won through love.
The violet brocade expresses penitence, humility, and preparation, making this superfrontal especially fitting for Lent, Passiontide, Holy Week, and Eucharistic devotion.
The pelican teaches the heart to contemplate the Eucharistic mystery:
Christ does not simply save—
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 piece joins the Church’s timeless prayer:
“Kyrie Eleison.”
Lord, have mercy.

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.
