The calla lily has carried two meanings in church use for a long time: purity, which is why it turns up at weddings, and resurrection or eternal life, which is why the same flower appears just as often at funerals. This stole was designed to hold both readings at once rather than choose between them. A second motif appears only on the back: a gold cross with radiating rays, a small crown-like shape above it, embroidered on the yoke where the front vine does not reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack belongs to funerals and requiem Masses in the Roman and Anglo-Catholic traditions, and it is worn there without difficulty. It has no comparable liturgical claim on weddings, where white, gold or the couple's chosen colour is far more usual; an officiant who wears black to a wedding is making a personal or stylistic choice, not following a colour rubric, and should check with the couple and the church before doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stole suits a priest, pastor or minister who officiates at both funerals and weddings and wants one well-made piece for occasions that share a flower rather than a colour rule.

The band carries a continuous wheat-and-ribbon vine with several small crosses spaced along its length, finishing at a thick gold fringe. Wheat is the older of the two symbols here, standing for the bread of the Eucharist and, through the image of buried grain rising again, for resurrection; the small crosses set along the vine keep that reading in view rather than letting the wheat stand alone as decoration.

Wheat sheaves fill the corners and a border of vine, leaves and grapes runs round all four sides, the bread and the wine answering one another. The corner detail is worked with coloured leaf and fruit alongside the gold rather than gold alone, which is what gives this veil its softer, more festal character. Gold bullion fringe finishes every edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a warm ivory white rather than an optical white, which is the kinder choice under both daylight and candlelight and photographs far better at a wedding than a stark white would.

A standard parish chalice is usually served well by the 20 in; the 18 in suits smaller and travel chalices, and the 24 in a taller chalice or a deeper drape.

Because the figures are flat, double the chest width for the full circumference.
