A column of small gold crosses runs from the yoke to the fringe, threaded through with grapevine leaves and wheat sheaves, and the gold cornucopia sits as the visual anchor near the base, its fruit picked out in more than one colour against the surrounding goldwork. Wheat and grapes are the oldest Eucharistic pairing in Christian embroidery, standing for the bread and wine of Communion; the cornucopia adds a harvest note of abundance that the wheat and grapes alone do not carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse of the stole is a plain gold satin panel, visible only at the neck yoke when the stole is worn; from the front, the eye reads green velvet, gold thread and, at the ends, gold fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen is the colour of Ordinary Time, the long uncounted weeks of the church year that fall outside Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, and this stole is built for the Sundays that make up that season. It also suits a Harvest Festival or Thanksgiving service, which many parishes keep within Ordinary Time and in green for that reason, though some traditions give the day its own festal colour instead - ask before assuming which your parish follows. It is not a stole for Lent or Advent, which call for violet, nor for Easter or Christmas, which call for white and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, pastor or minister presiding at Communion through the Sundays of Ordinary Time, or leading a harvest or thanksgiving service who wants the wheat and grapes to carry the theme without a note in the bulletin explaining it.

Wheat and the grape-bearing vine are the standing emblems of bread and wine, and here they are drawn specifically as harvested and gathered — sheaves rather than standing stalks, ripe clusters rather than open flowers — which is what ties the motif to a harvest theme rather than to Communion alone. A small wheat sprig repeats at the back neck.
