Three-Piece Set Dikerotrikera and the Holy Gospel | Burgundy Velvet

This three-piece liturgical set includes a rectangular cover for the Holy Gospel and two round mats for the dikirion and trikirion — ceremonial candleholders used by bishops to bless the believers during services. The Gospel cover helps protect the sacred book, while the matching mats are placed beneath the candleholders to protect and decorate the surface on which they rest.

All the items of this set are made from durable material and decorated with the ΧΡ ΑΩ Christogram: ΧΡ forms an abbreviation for the name of Christ; the use of the Greek letters Α and Ω (Alpha and Omega) goes back to the text of the Apocalypse:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and  who is to come, the Almighty”

(Revelation 1:8)

The edges of each item are adorned with elegant scalloped gold lace trim, emphasizing the traditional ecclesiastical character of the set.

Set includes:

• 1 rectangular Holy Gospel cover. Dimensions: 40x30 cm

• 2 round mats for the dikirion and trikirion. Diameter: 28 cm each
