I don’t know where to get them, but I did want to say if you can get one do it. A wonderful gift is one that has a lot of heart and work in it. Good thinking on your part.
Great Idea!
Luzar vestments I recommend. They have a good selection of new and antique vestments, I think quite reasonably priced.
If you need a nice vestmentright away you can get it from Richard Luzar at www.lizarvestments.com or of you have the time to wait for a custom made vestment, go to www.susanmaria.com I have purchased two from luzar and six from susanmaia.
Can I ask what is the difference?
Holy rood is quite good, if a bit expensive.
Roman chasuble:
Wow, thanks very much!
The difference is that the fiddleback chasuble has a shape like a fiddle, and is the vestment prefered by priests who celebrate the traditional Roman rite Latin mass. The Gothic style is the longest. It flows over the shoulders. The semi-Gothic is between the fiddleback and gothic chasubles in shoulder length. The Novos Ordo priests wear anything, except the traditional fiddleback. They wear, Anglican, Episcopal, etc type vestments.Sad.
That is not entirely true, not for every priest who celebrates Mass in the Ordinary Form. The fiddlebacks from our parish archives came in handy when our previous pastor injured his foot ( or ankle) and was on crutches for a while. At that time the Gothic style was mostly used in our parish. Our present pastor has his own Roman style vestments. He also uses the fiddlebacks from our parish archives.The difference is that the fiddleback chasuble has a shape like a fiddle, and is the vestment prefered by priests who celebrate the traditional Roman rite Latin mass.
