Pyx Burse
A pyx is a sacred vessel carry a consecrated hosts outside of a church. Pyxes are used to bring the Eucharist to those unable to attend Mass and receive communion. A burse is a bag or pouch for carrying a pyx. All of the covers below have been designed to secure a standard size pyx although if you require burs bigger or smaller that is not a problem.
Sacred Heart I.H.S Burse
I designed and created this first pyx burse for a friend who has a true devotion to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The hand embellished burning heart looks as if it flickers with golden sparks! The outer fabric of the pouch is soft brown leather edged in cream satin ribbon.
Sacred Heart of Jesus Burse with gold work
This burse has a secure cord attached so that it may be worn around then neck and over ones heart. Interlay embroidered and embellished by hand this pyx burse also has delicate gold work, which glistens in the light. After sharing photos of this burse on face book I have since made many more of a similar design.
