{"product_id":"gold-harvest-thanksgiving-stole","title":"Gold Damask Stole for Harvest and Thanksgiving, with Wheat and Grapevine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stole is worked on a mustard-gold ground with a faint self-toned damask pattern, and carries a repeating vine of wheat sheaves and grape clusters down each panel. It is designed for Harvest and Thanksgiving use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small cross sits near the top of each panel, then the embroidery settles into a repeat: a wheat sheaf bound with a ribbon, followed by a cluster of green grapes among rust-orange, maple-shaped leaves, run in brown, green and cream thread against the gold ground. 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. The panel edges close in a dark gold-brown woven band, and the ends finish in twisted fringe in the same tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold is not one of the seven colours recognised across every tradition; where a parish uses it, it most often stands in as a richer alternative to white on the greatest solemnities, such as Christmas Day or Easter. Separately from that, gold and its close relative yellow are a widespread custom for Harvest Festival and Thanksgiving services, which is the reading this stole's wheat-and-grape design supports directly. It is not a substitute for violet in Lent or Advent, nor for the green of ordinary Sundays outside a harvest observance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, pastor or minister leading a Harvest Festival, a Thanksgiving service, or any Communion service where the congregation uses gold for its most solemn occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinished length is \u003cstrong\u003e120 in (305 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e standard, measured end to end over both shoulders in a presbyteral cut worn straight down each side.
