Loading ...Ecclesiastical Embroidery Exhibition @ Bradford Cathedral - Description
Bradford Cathedral is hosting its first exhibition of ecclesiastical embroidery, bringing together pieces from churches around the Diocese.
The exhibition, part of the Cathedral’s Artspace programme, includes pieces from the Cathedral itself to as far away as Cautley near Sedbergh. Vestments, including chasubles and stoles, as well as altar frontals, burses and veils are among over forty exhibits – each one unique and showing the diversity of the churches in the Bradford Diocese. Not only will visitors be able to appreciate the skill of local people who designed and hand-stitched most of these impressive pieces, they will discover more about the symbolism behind the designs and the customs of the Anglican Church such as the use of liturgical colours, vesting prayers and the seasons of the Church year.
