Summary
Details

Discover the artistry and devotion behind The Sacred Threads Embroiderers Guild, the sole ecclesiastical embroiderers' guild in Scottish Catholic history. Sparked by Pope St John Paul II's visit in 1982, this group breathed life into centuries-old traditions through their vibrant vestments, altar frontals, and murals. Drawing from Celtic influences and the renewed energy of Vatican II, they created fresh expressions of faith in Scotland's sacred spaces.

Richly illustrated and packed with insights, this book journeys through the guild's origins, the challenges they faced, and the beauty they crafted. Join them in celebrating a story of dedication, creativity, and enduring spiritual inspiration.
