{"product_id":"celtic-cross-velvet-priest-stole","title":"Roman-Style Priest Stole in Red and Navy with Celtic-Style Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Roman-style priest stole pairs a deep red shoulder yoke with a wide navy velvet-look band running the length of each panel, densely embroidered in gold metallic thread with scrollwork and a repeating small gemmed cross. A single ringed, Celtic-style cross is worked in gold on the back neck yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold embroidery on the navy bands is a continuous scrollwork pattern interrupted by a small, gemmed Latin cross repeated down the length of each panel; small red and purple gem-like accents catch the light within the scrolling. At the centre back, a single ringed cross in the Celtic style is set on the red yoke on its own, distinct from the repeating crosses on the front bands. Read that way, \"Celtic cross\" describes one specific detail at the neck rather than the whole pattern, and this listing keeps that distinction rather than implying every cross on the stole is a Celtic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed belongs to the red liturgical colour class: Pentecost Sunday, the feasts of martyrs and apostles, and, in some traditions, Palm Sunday and Good Friday. It is not worn in Ordinary Time, Advent, Lent, or on white-class solemnities. The velvet-look banding and dense gold work here place it firmly in the traditional Roman style, suited to a solemn red-class Mass rather than an everyday parish service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest in a traditional Catholic or high-church Anglican setting who wants an ornamented stole for red-class solemnities, or a considered ordination gift for a priest who will value the weight and formality of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm) end to end over the shoulders, worn straight down in the presbyteral cut. Made-to-measure lengths from 84 in to 120 in cost the same as standard, and lengths beyond 120 in, up to 160 in, add $10 for every further 5 in. Enter your height on this page for a suggested length, and adjust it if you prefer; the figure you settle on, together with your height and any notes, carries through your cart and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-vestments\"\u003eRed Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/celtic-vestments\"\u003eCeltic Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e ranges, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/custom-vestments\"\u003eCustom Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or read the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vestment-glossary\"\u003evestment glossary\u003c\/a\u003e for terms like orphrey and yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382768771307,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-STD","price":192.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382768804075,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M120","price":192.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408843579627,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M125","price":202.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408843612395,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M130","price":212.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408843645163,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M135","price":222.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408843677931,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M140","price":232.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408843710699,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M145","price":242.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408843743467,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M150","price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408843776235,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M155","price":262.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408843809003,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-CEL-064-M160","price":272.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/celtic-cross-velvet-priest-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952558","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/celtic-cross-velvet-priest-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
