Red Velvet Priest Stole with Ornate Crosses and Fringe

Red Velvet Priest Stole with Ornate Crosses and Fringe. The velvet ground gives this red stole a different surface from smooth or jacquard models. Compact ornate gold-coloured crosses decorate the lower ends, accompanied by a narrow fringe along the bottom edge. The upper front stays plain, with a small cross behind the neck. The close-up photographs are useful for comparing the velvet texture, the cross outlines and the shorter fringe.

Embroidery and fabric

Fabric specified for this model: Velvet.

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.
