Purple Priest Stole with Fish and Wavy Bands

Purple Priest Stole with Fish and Wavy Bands. Pairs of fish, fine wavy horizontal lines and open-centred crosses create a graphic decoration near the lower ends. The placement is reversed from one side to the other, giving the purple stole an intentionally alternating rhythm. The gold-colored stitching stays light and widely spaced. Straight ends and a small nape cross complete a design suited to those seeking symbolic imagery without dense scrollwork.

Embroidery and fabric

Fabric specified for this model: Smooth fabric, 100% polyester. 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 motif placement and the shape of the ends with the vestments already used in your church. Check the measurements listed below against a well-fitting stole; a model’s height or a close-up photograph is not a reliable size guide.

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.
