Description
A Piece of Monastic Tradition for Your Church
Bring the tradition of Orthodox monastic craftsmanship into your church with this beautiful, handmade Byzantine Ripidion. Created with devotion by the monks of the Sacred Monastery of St. John of the Ladder in Boetia, Greece, this 6-inch chalice cover is more than just a liturgical item – it is a testament to faith, resilience, and centuries-old artistic tradition.
Embroidered with Prayer and Skill:
Each ripidion is meticulously embroidered, and this stunning piece features a classic Byzantine design centered around a cross motif, adorned with vibrant royal blue floral accents that bring a touch of delicate beauty to the rich burgundy, gold, and red threads. The 6-inch diameter is perfectly sized for standard chalices, making it ideal for church use.
