Lovely Sundays of yesteryear

The Beautiful Sundays of Yesteryear

Silverwork and liturgical vestments in the Province of Luxembourg

Chalices, ciboria, monstrances and shimmering vestments characterised the ‘Beautiful Sundays of Yesteryear’, right down to the very heart of our humblest churches. Goldsmith’s work and liturgical vestments harnessed all the splendour and allure of art in the service of the liturgy. Among other things, this book provides previously unpublished information on Luxembourg’s goldsmith’s workshops under the Ancien Régime, as well as shedding new light on the ancient liturgical vestments of our province.
