St Joseph Orphrey, Iron on Patch, Vestment making, Embroidered Orphrey, Ecclesiastical vestment making, Mariae Immaculatum

This is our St Joseph Orphrey. It has been designed with vestment making in mind but it would also make a lovely addition to a backpack! This would make a very striking central piece to a vestment Orphrey. This is surrounded with a decorative border to frame the image. 

Joseph is venerated as Saint Joseph in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, Anglicanism and Lutheranism. In Catholic tradition, St. Joseph is regarded as the patron saint of workers and is associated with various feast days. The month of March is dedicated to him. Pope Pius IX declared St. Joseph to be both the patron and the protector of the Catholic Church, in addition to his patronages of the sick and of a holy death, due to the belief that he died in the presence of Jesus and Mary. St. Joseph has become patron of various dioceses and places. Being a patron saint of virgins, he is venerated as "most chaste". A specific veneration is attributed to the pure and most Chaste Heart of Joseph.

The Orphrey does have an iron on backing (it is optional to iron it on), for application I would recommend pressing firmly (with a cloth over the badge to secure) and then to follow with some stitching. 

Badge dimensions:

- 16cm x 16cm(6 1/4" x 6 1/4") 

Badge is measured at the widest point also measurements are approximate.
