These exquisitely-detailed, hand-embroidered epigonatia are made based on designs in museums in monasteries in Greece. The designs are intricate and the center design is an icon of Christ (other icon designs are available as a custom order). Price $495 plus shipping. Makes a wonderful gift for an ordination or elevation.

Chalice veil sets

There are two approaches to purchasing chalice veil sets.  The first approach, typically used in Greek and Antiochian parishes, is for the parish to own one chalice set which is usually fairly elaborate, either brocade with metallic galloon or embroidered burgundy velvet. The second approach, typically used in OCA parishes, is for the priest to have chalice veil sets to match each of his vestment sets.  Personally, I favor the first approach for a number of reasons:  first, it is much more economical in the long run (an elaborate chalice veil set costs about $400 versus $1000 for chalice veil sets to match 5 sets of vestments), second, it allows the chalice veils and altar cloth to function as a "set" which is more aethetically pleasing and thirdly, in the case a new priest is assigned to the parish and does not have a chalice veils to match his vestments, the parish has a set of their own.

Brocade chalice veil set  $195 to $300 depending on fabric and galloon choice.
Hand-embroidered chalice veil sets $450
Burgundy velvet chalice veil set with gold embroidery $400

Analogia covers

My "short" analogia cover is 16 inches by 40inches and my "long" analogia cover is 18 inches by 72 inches, but these dimensions can be varied to individual needs.  The cloths are finished with galloon around the entire perimeter, a double bank of galloon and fringe at the front edge, and a 6 inch cross sewn to the front.  These can be made in brocade or velvet and finished with a wide variety of galloons.  Analogia covers can be an excellent way to beautify a church as they provide a large amount of visual interest.  They also make excellent memorial gifts.

Royal Door curtains

These are made out of burgundy velvet and finished with a variety of gold embroidery designs.  Since these are custom-embroidered in Greece, it can take awhile to have these made.  Panels can be purchased either finished or unfinished.  Prices vary on size and designs.

Stunningly beautiful, hand-embroidered metal thread epitaphios. The style is early Byzantine, contains multiple figures, and lettering can be done in either English or Greek.
