Ecclesiastical embroidery at St Luke's

One of the advantages of this year’s Ighali Embroidery Festival being held at St Luke’s Retreat and Conference Centre in Port Elizabeth was that we got to see the ecclesiastical embroidery that had been put out on display for the festival. 

The chapel, being a quiet and beautiful place to spend time, was the perfect setting for the embroidered robes. I spent a peaceful half-hour admiring the detailed surface embroidery and goldwork adorning these masterpieces (and enjoying the sunlight streaming through the windows).

I take things like honor and loyalty seriously. It's more important to me than any materialistic thing or any fame I could have. See the link below for more info.
