boys Ukrainian embroidered baptismal gown

Dur­ing the Coro­n­avirus shut­down, the world was shel­tered in place and the church­es were forced to close. Even though the world isn’t ful­ly opened at this point, we are slow­ly reopen­ing. It’s real­ly nice to have our church­es open and the sacra­ments admin­is­tered again.  In the last few weeks, I received pho­tos from (old) cus­tomers and friends who bap­tized their new­borns in Ana­gras­sia gowns passed down through their fam­i­lies.

But the Com­mu­nion masks are dif­fer­ent. My cus­tomers need­ed them to...
