Home Project: Text on Linen!
You may remember that earlier this year, I finished a maniturgium with the text “Duc in Altum” and some fish embroidered on it.
If you’re not sure what this strip of linen is and what it’s used for, you can read about its liturgical use – and what becomes of it after its liturgical use – in this article.
Many, many years ago, I embroidered a maniturgium (you can see it here) with the Latin text “O Clemens, O Pia, O Dulcis Virgo Maria” on it, which comes from a prayer called the “Salve Regina” (or, in English, the “Hail, Holy Queen”).
These were all bespoke (commissioned) pieces.
I’ve taken on another one. After all, being stuck at home a lot lately, it gives me something to do there. I might as well be doing something productive!
