{"product_id":"celtic-tree-life-pastor-stole","title":"Green Celtic Tree of Life Stole for Pastors and Ordination Gifts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Green Celtic Tree of Life Pastor Stole repeats the tree-and-knotwork design of our other Celtic tree stole, in the same green ground and gold thread, but leaves out the small cross worked near the hem on that piece. Here the tree and its interlaced root carry the whole design, front to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold tree rises on each panel from a leafy canopy at the top to a shaded trunk, which resolves at the base into an interlaced Celtic knot rather than ending in a plain root. There is no separate cross emblem above the fringe on this stole, which is the one clear difference from the similar Celtic tree stole elsewhere in this collection. The reverse is left entirely plain, with no embroidery and no neckline cross. The tree read this way, growing straight out of an unbroken knot, is a Celtic image of life sustained at its root; the absence of a separate cross keeps that single image uninterrupted down the length of the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen marks Ordinary Time in the Western calendar and is worn on the Sundays and weekdays outside a named season or feast. It is not a stole for Advent, Lent, Christmas or Easter, each of which has its own proper colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut in the presbyteral style, straight down both shoulders, this suits a pastor or priest who wants a plainer green stole without additional emblems, and it makes a straightforward ordination gift. It also suits someone who wants the same Celtic tree image as our other stole but in a simpler form, without the extra cross carried near the hem on that piece.\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. Any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in costs the same as standard; beyond that, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. The height box on this page suggests a length, which you can override. Your length, height and any notes travel through to the cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare it with the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/celtic-vestments\"\u003eCeltic vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ordinary-time-vestments\"\u003egreen vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stoles\u003c\/a\u003e range.
