{"product_id":"gold-wheat-grapes-monstrance-stole","title":"Ivory and Gold Wheat and Grapes Stole with a Monstrance Emblem","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ivory and Gold Monstrance Stole is worked entirely in gold thread on a smooth ivory ground: two stacked repeats of wheat sheaves and grape clusters run down each panel, closing near the hem in a monstrance, a radiating emblem holding a single host.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike a chalice-themed stole, which closes on the vessel that holds the wine, this one closes on the monstrance, the vessel used to display the consecrated host for adoration, which sets it apart from the chalice-and-wheat design found elsewhere in this collection. Above it, wheat sheaves and grapevine clusters repeat twice down each panel, the two most direct images of bread and wine that the Eucharist is built on. The two repeats are worked identically, so the panel reads as a steady, even pattern rather than building toward a single climax until the monstrance appears at the very end. The whole design is worked in a single gold thread, without any secondary colour, giving it a plainer, more monochrome character than some of our other eucharistic stoles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite and gold is worn through Ordinary Time and is the proper colour for Corpus Christi, where a monstrance-themed stole is especially fitting. It also suits First Communion and a priest's own ordination. It is not a stole for Lent, Advent or a funeral Mass, all of which call for violet or black. Because the palette stays entirely gold, it also pairs cleanly with a chasuble or other vestments trimmed in plain gold, without a second thread colour to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut for a priest, in the presbyteral style worn straight down both shoulders, this suits Sunday and feast-day Mass and works well as an ordination gift for a man entering a Eucharist-centred ministry.\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. The height box on this page will suggest a length, which you can override.
