This violet brocade chalice burse features the historic IHC Christogram, one of the earliest monograms for the Holy Name of Jesus. Formed from the first three Greek letters of ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Jesus), the IHC proclaims Christ as Savior, Redeemer, and Lord.
The chalice burse is used to hold and cover the corporal, signifying reverence for the Holy Eucharist — the true Body and Blood of Christ, offered for the salvation of the world.
“There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12
The violet brocade reflects the solemnity of Lent, inviting the faithful into a season of repentance, humility, and preparation of heart.
As part of the Kyrie Eleison Collection, this burse echoes the Church’s ancient plea:
Kyrie Eleison.
Lord, have mercy.
When paired with the matching IHC Chalice Veil, Pulpit Fall, Superfrontal, and Bible Marker, it creates a unified and reverent altar arrangement for Lent, Passiontide, and Holy Week.
