Embroidered Goods

Beautiful needlework has been used in the service of God since as early as the 4th century AD. Istok Church Supplies is delighted to offer a variety of embroidered church appliques that carry forward centuries of traditional needlework techniques. 

 

Why is Ecclesiastical Embroidery Prized?

 

Pictorial in nature, ecclesiastical embroidery serves two main purposes – ornamentation and conveying the basic teachings of the Orthodox Christian faith. This type of needlework requires skill, understanding of traditional techniques, patience and dedication to master. There are not many teachers and not many students who take up ecclesiastical embroidery. The ones who take it up do it because of a divine calling and determination to preserve ancient traditions. Istok Church Supplies has master embroiderers in whose hands needlework is elevated into an exalted art form.
