Red Priest Stole with IHS and Grape Clusters

Red Priest Stole with IHS and Grape Clusters. Slender gold-coloured IHS letters appear above a grape cluster on one end, while the opposite end carries a matching grape-and-leaf motif. This asymmetrical arrangement concentrates the decoration near the lower hem and leaves the upper red fabric plain. The imagery connects the name of Jesus with a traditional Eucharistic vine motif; a small cross appears behind the neck.

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 colour according to the celebration and applicable liturgical norms.

Red is used for celebrations including Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Pentecost and feasts of martyrs. The embroidered motif can help coordinate the stole with the occasion and other vestments.

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; fibre content alone does not establish a safe washing method.
