Every sacristy would do well to have this hand-lettered list of vesting prayers framed and visible on the vesting cabinet. These are prayers that a priest prays for the donning of each of the sacred vestments in the sacristy before Mass. Also helpful is the prayer for the washing of hands, also framed and placed on the wall behind the sacristy skink known as the sacrarium. This beautiful work of art is from our good friends at Letters to the Lord Hand Lettered Calligraphy (Litterae Domino). Kudos to them for producing incredible hand-made original works of art in calligraphy. This one stands out, suitable for any sacristy, a nice touch of heirloom quality.
