About this pattern

A gold chalice with a round white host standing in its mouth and five gold rays behind the host. The host carries a gold cross. The cup has a pale gold line at its lip, a stem with a round knob half way down, and a wide foot. A dark brown outline runs round the cup and the host; the rays have none. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 52 stitches and uses four thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 52 high: 746 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Medium Topaz 783, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
