In Christian symbolism the three divided leaves of the clover leaf represent the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
This design was originally offered as an iron-on embroidery transfer in the mid to late 1800s in the
The Embroidery Pattern Catalogue, published by the Thomas Brown & Sons company of Manchester, England. Many of those traditional Christian patterns were hand drawn reproductions of designs from the 13
th and 14
th centuries, a period when ecclesiastical art, especially the stunning English needlework, was in its glory.
When digitizing for machine embroidery we attempted to stay as true to the original design as possible.
A beautiful vintage design for use on fine vestments or any church linens.
