Description
Exclusively designed for the Abbey, this navy fabric decoration is hand embroidered to the front with a gold St Edward's cross and 'Westminster Abbey'.
It would make a wonderful souvenir of your visit.
The patonce cross emblem can be seen at the western tower entrance to Westminster Abbey alongside the following inscription adapted from a grace said after meals, dating from the reign of Elizabeth I.
“MAY GOD GRANT TO THE LIVING GRACE
TO THE DEPARTED REST
TO THE CHURCH & THE WORLD
PEACE AND CONCORD
AND TO US SINNERS
ETERNAL LIFE”.
The cross and inscription were unveiled in 1993 to mark the completion of the restoration of the western towers.
St. Nicolas specialises in bespoke Christmas decorations and fabric gifts. All the decorations are handmade, and the time taken to make each one is reflected in their unique quality.
Their Indian Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th Century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, the skills of which are handed down from generation to generation.
