Some of you may have seen this posting by Zachary Thomas on the LAJ Facebook page coming from the holdings of the Terra Sancta Museum. but I wanted to share them here on the site proper as well. (These are also being cross-posted at the same time over on NLM incidentally since Gregory and I were both interested in publishing them.) Here is what Zachary notes about them:
For the jubilee year of 1600, Milan sent the Holy Sepulchre a complete set for solemn Lenten masses, including two folded chasubles. Made of very deep indigo cut velvet, silk, silver-gilt thread, and gold braid, in the spaces between the acanthus are the 14 symbols of the Passion, the Arma Christi (Christ’s arms). The Jerusalem Cross is featured throughout.
Here's a look at some of the pieces.
