Purple Priest Stole with Floriated Crosses and Pointed Ends

Purple Priest Stole with Floriated Crosses and Pointed Ends. Gold-colored upright crosses with curved, leaf-like terminals sit on the pointed ends of this purple jacquard stole. Unlike a bordered panel, the crosses are embroidered directly on the patterned ground, allowing the woven design to continue around them. The unbordered pointed hem gives the lower silhouette its shape. A small nape cross repeats the gold-colored accent.

Embroidery and fabric

Fabric specified for this model: Jacquard, 100% polyester.

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.
