Dignity & Reverence in Sacred Offerings — Handcrafted Square Linen Artoklasia Basket Cloth with Embroidered Crosses & Scalloped Cutwork Border - 90 x 90 cm (35.43 x 35.43 in)

Bring sacred solemnity, purity, and traditional Greek ecclesiastical needlework into your liturgical celebrations and home dining decor. Handcrafted in Greece from premium woven linen, this generous square cloth is tailored specifically as a cover for the traditional bread basket (πανέρι αρτοκλασίας) during the service of Artoklasia (Ἀρτοκλασία)—the blessing of the five loaves, wheat, wine, and oil. Embellished with finely stitched Christian cross motifs and finished with an ornate, form-cut scalloped festoon perimeter that follows the contour of the embroidery, this refined textile also functions as an elegant tablecloth or centerpiece topper for formal gatherings and church feast tables.

*Note: The price listed is for one (1) single square linen cloth. Any bread baskets or decorative accessories shown in photography are for display purposes only.
