At the center of Molina’s #2000 Book of the Gospels Cover is a raised scene of Christ’s Crucifixion. Four medallions representing Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John surround the scene, and an ornate scrollwork border frames the design. The imagery brings together Christ’s sacrifice and the four Evangelists whose accounts are proclaimed from the book at Mass.
Made in Spain as part of Molina’s Artistic Silver collection, this metal cover gives a parish’s existing Book of the Gospels a distinctive presentation, from the entrance procession to the proclamation at the ambo. In the two-tone finish shown, the silver-plated relief stands out against the gold-plated background, bringing the figures and border into sharper detail.
Finish Options
Choose brass, silver-plated brass, gold-plated brass, or the two-tone gold and silver-plated finish shown. Custom clasps are available at an additional cost.
