| Brief Description |
This burse comes from St Marys Catholic Church in Whanganui. It is made of soft yellow silk and embroidered with ears of wheat set in the form of a cross and trimmed with gold braid and a gold fringe and opens to a wedge shape.
A burse is a square cloth case used to carry the corporal, a linen cloth on which the Eucharistic elements, such as the host (or communion wafer), the chalice (communion cup) and paten (communion plate) are placed during the Mass. The maniple is in the same liturgical colour as the other vestments for any given Mass.
