Prizes The prizes for the auction are three separate dinners prepared and served in your home by your priests. You can view the menus and details on the following pages. BROCADE Matte cream background brocade with shiny gold colored threads drop shadowing real metal threads the overall effect being a subtle embossing of the fabric. The repeat is small 4.5 wide x 7.5 tall. Patonce style crosses are outlined in the background behind a repeating pomegranate (symbol of royalty) and palm leaf motif (symbol of martyrs). Connecting the palms are ornate crowns. This fabric is very high quality, not lurex metal threads and changes as it turns with the light, very elegant but not over the top. GOLD BULLION FLEUR DE LYS CROSSES: Seventeen 3 gold bullion fleur de lys crosses will be stitched on stoles, maniples, dalmatic and tunicle backs, chasuble front, cope panels front. Faceted garnets (carbuncles as they were called in ancient times) will be stitched on the 4 points and center, signifying the 5 wounds of Christ. GALLOON Very high quality galloon in both ½ and 1 ¼ depicts grapes, grape leaves and crosses. This pattern is raised in a slight embossment. Please help us make the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass the most fitting tribute we can make by! www.apple.com/iwork supporting this initiative.
