{"product_id":"celtic-knot-ivory-wedding-stole","title":"Ivory Celtic Knot Stole with Interlace Band for Weddings and Ordination","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ivory Celtic Knot Stole carries a single unbroken band of interlace down the centre of each panel, worked in gold and olive-gold thread with small green leaf sprigs caught in the braid, and left plain at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than isolated medallions, the knotwork here runs as one continuous band, bordered on both sides by plain ivory satin. Small green leaves are worked into the interlace at intervals, the only colour against the gold. An unbroken interlace, without a visible start or end, is a traditional Celtic way of picturing something that does not break: a marriage, a covenant, a life given to ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvory sits with the white class of vestments, worn at weddings, ordinations and any celebration that calls for white rather than a specific liturgical colour. It is not a seasonal piece for Advent, Lent or a penitential rite, and it carries no Marian-blue or violet association. Practice on the exact shade of white expected at a wedding varies between parishes and traditions, so it is worth checking with whoever else is presiding alongside you before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is cut for a priest, pastor or minister officiating a wedding, and it works equally as an ordination gift for someone who wants a Celtic pattern without a figural scene. The presbyteral cut is worn straight down both shoulders, and the quieter, single-band design sits well alongside a plainer chasuble or alb where a busier stole might compete with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over the shoulders. A made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in costs the same as standard; beyond 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. Enter a height in the box on this page for a suggested length, and change it if you know your own measurement. Your length, height and any notes carry through to the cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee more in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/celtic-vestments\"\u003eCeltic vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wedding-and-officiant-vestments\"\u003ewedding and officiant vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stoles\u003c\/a\u003e range.
