Purple Priest Stole with Face of Christ and Linear Crosses

Purple Priest Stole with Face of Christ and Linear Crosses. The face of Christ wearing a crown of thorns is drawn in fine embroidered lines on one upper panel. Curving and intersecting lines surround the portrait, while slender crosses decorate the two lower ends. The purple ground remains largely open, emphasizing the linear treatment of the Passion imagery. This single-sided model has straight ends and is supplied in a presentation box with a window.

Embroidery and fabric

Supplied in a presentation box with transparent window.

Liturgical use and selection

A priest wears the stole around the neck with both ends hanging at the front; at Mass it is worn over the alb and beneath the chasuble. Choose the color according to the celebration and applicable liturgical norms.

Purple is used during Advent and Lent. Choose this color according to the celebration and local liturgical norms, coordinating the stole with the chasuble or cope when those vestments are worn.

Compare the placement of the motifs and the shape of the ends with your existing vestments. The gallery shows the overall proportions; a model’s height or a close-up photograph should not be used to infer exact dimensions.

Care and storage

After use, hang the stole or lay it flat, avoiding firm folds through embroidered areas. Keep it dry and protect the decoration from pressure and snagging. Follow the care label supplied with the garment for cleaning and ironing; fiber content alone does not establish a safe washing method.
