Altar Linens - Cotton

Beautiful white altar cloths will increase your child's love and reverence for the Mass. The altar sets are used in Montessori faith formation, religious education, at home and in schools.  We use a 100% light-weight cotton for all of our altar "linens."

These coordinating miniature altar cloths and linens are excellent for teaching love of the Eucharist, the names of each item Father uses at Mass and their purposes. Nomenclature is the term used in Montessori environments.

Liturgical Vestments

We use a 100% light-weight cotton for all of our liturgical vestments (except the cincture, which is made out of yarn).

Chasubles - Set of 4

Model chasubles for use in learning the liturgical colors, vestments of the priest and perfecting control of movement skills. These are used in Montessori faith formation, religious education, as well as can be used in schools and homes.

Chasubles are approximately 12 inches tall.  This set includes the four main liturgical colors: white, green, purple, and red.  Chasubles are intended to be hung on 2-dimensional vestment stands (shown pricing is for 1 stand). The 2-dimensional chasuble stand represents "any" priest (versus 3-dimensional figures in the atrium which represent historical figures).

Stoles - Set of 4

Stoles correspond with the chasubles, stands, and additional vestments. This set includes the four main liturgical colors: white, green, purple, and red.

Maniples - Set of 4
Maniples correspond with the chasubles, stoles, and stands. This set includes the four main liturgical colors: white, green, purple, and red.

Alb and Cincture - all white, cincture is made of yarn.  Alb fits snuggly over the vestment stand, but can still accomodate a cassock underneath it if you so wish.

Amice - all white with white ribbons 

Cassock - all black. The cassock fits snuggly over the vestment stand.  This is an optional vestment that can be placed underneath the alb.

Vestment Stand - made of double-stacked, quarter inch plywood and includes a base.  Can be plain wood, polycryliced wood, or painted to wear a cassock and polycryliced.
