Regal Edition of the Roman Missal - MD45518

Regal Edition of the Roman Missal by Midwest Theological Forum. This Third Edition designed to ensure that every element is durable and practicalyet dignified, beautiful, and suitable for divine worship. The quality of paper and binding as well as the visual impact of vibrant, full-color illustrations; musical notations; and fonts for texts have been considered to produce a dignified altar missal. The pages of the Regal Edition are Smyth-sewn and bound with reinforced, embossed endsheets inside a cover of high-quality German red Genuine Leather. The cover is gold-stamped with an image of Christ Pantocrator on the front and Chi-Rho on the back, and there are five hubs on the spine. The 8.5 x 11 pages are an august cream color with gilded edges. Full-color illustrations from the Churchs treasury of fine art adorn the beginnings of seasons and principal feasts, adding visual beauty to the liturgical texts. The 24 tabs made of genuine leather make for secure and easy turning of pages, and the six ornate ribbons mark places in the missal. The Regal Edition comes in a cloth-wrapped, gold-stamped box ideal for protection and presentation.
