Canopies
Embroidered processional canopies and umbrellas
The processional canopy is used depending on local customs mainly during Eucharistic processions. The processional canopy is carried over the celebrant holding the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament. Near the canopy, on either side of it, altar servers carry candles or torches. Representatives of the military, police, fire department or other uniformed services may walk by the canopy outside.
