The Holy Mass, the central point of liturgical life in the Catholic Church, is not only a celebration of faith, but also a wealth of symbols and traditions. Every element of the Mass, from the priest’s gestures to the singing of the faithful, has its own meaning and helps the faithful to experience the mystery of the Eucharist more deeply. Equally important are liturgical accessories – a set of items that not only serve practical functions, but also decorate the sacred space and emphasize the solemn nature of the celebration.

Each of these elements has its unique significance and contributes to the beauty and solemnity of the Holy Mass. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.
Corporals: An Altar in Miniature
The corporal, as the name suggests (Latin corpus – body), is the linen on which the Body of Christ rests during the Mass. This square cloth, usually made of linen or cotton, symbolizes the altar in miniature. The host and wine rest on it, which during the consecration become the Body and Blood of Christ.
Corporals offered by HAFTINAUSA are characterized by high-quality materials and careful workmanship. They are often decorated with embroidery depicting a cross, the symbol of the Eucharist, or other religious motifs.
Purificators: Purification and Respect
A purificator is a small, rectangular towel used during the Holy Mass to cleanse the chalice and paten after Holy Communion. It is used to dry the liturgical vessels of the remains of consecrated wine and fragments of the host. The use of a purificator is an expression of respect for the Blessed Sacrament and care to ensure that no crumb of the Body of Christ is disregarded.
HAFTINAUSA offers purificators made of soft cotton or linen that absorb moisture well and are easy to clean. Like corporals, purificators are often decorated with embroidery.
Palls and Chalice Veils: Protecting the Blessed Sacrament
A pall is a stiff square of cloth that is used to cover the chalice. It protects the contents of the chalice from contaminants, such as dust or insects. A chalice veil is a fabric that covers the chalice during the Holy Mass before the consecration. The veil symbolizes the mystery and sanctity of the Eucharist.
HAFTINAUSA offers palls and chalice veils made of various materials and in various liturgical colors. Palls are often decorated with embroidery, and veils can be made of richly decorated fabrics, such as damask or brocade.
Altar Linens: Dignity and Beauty
An altar linen is the fabric that covers the altar, the central place of the Mass celebration. It symbolizes the dignity and holiness of this place. Altar linens should be made of high-quality materials and kept clean.
HAFTINAUSA offers altar linens in various sizes and designs, made of linen, cotton, or mixed fabrics. The linens can be plain or decorated with embroidery, lace, or other decorative elements. The company also offers altar linens made to order, tailored to the dimensions of the altar and the style of the church.
