The creation of fine laces for church altars is an art that has been handed down from the middle ages. For centuries devout women have contributed their fine handiwork to the adornment of the church.

This handbook was prepared with such women in mind - the clergy of various denominations were consulted in respect to the liturgical regulations and the result is a comprehensive collection to suit tastes simple or elaborate. Designed in repeating motifs, the lace may easily be made to conform to the size of the altar, which varies, of course, with the size of the church.
