{"product_id":"green-chalice-grapevine-stole","title":"Green Priest Stole with a Chalice at the Neck and Grapevine Down Each Panel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis green stole runs wheat and grapevine down each front panel and keeps a single chalice-and-host motif for the back, at the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown each panel, gold wheat sprigs lead into a grapevine with leaves and clusters shaded in gold, brown and ivory, ending near the hem in a bound wheat sheaf and a small gold cross set just above the fringe. Wheat and the vine stand together for bread and wine, the raw elements of Communion. The chalice, holding a white host, is embroidered only at the back collar, on the green satin close to the neck — a detail worn rather than shown, seen by the wearer and by anyone standing directly behind. Thread colours through the vine shift from gold into brown and ivory as the clusters ripen down the panel, giving the embroidery real depth rather than a single flat tone. The ends finish in gold fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen is the colour of Ordinary Time, the largest stretch of the church year and the one without a single dominant feast of its own. This is a working Communion stole built for that long run of Sundays; it does not belong to Advent, Lent, Christmas or Easter, which take their own colours, and a parish that keeps a strict colour sequence should reserve it for the weeks outside those named seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, pastor or minister who presides at Communion regularly through Ordinary Time, and who wants the chalice symbolism kept discreet rather than displayed on the front. It also suits a clergyperson who already owns a more elaborate Eucharistic stole and wants a second, quieter piece for everyday Sunday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard length is \u003cstrong\u003e120 in (305 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e, measured end to end over both shoulders in a presbyteral cut, worn straight down each side. Made-to-measure lengths from 84 in to 120 in are priced the same as standard, and each further 5 in past 120 in, to 160 in, adds $10. The height box on this page suggests a length from your height, and you can override it — the length, height and any notes you give travel through to the cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis design sits alongside a related grapevine-and-cross stole in our green vestments collection, distinguished by its back-collar chalice; see the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ordinary-time-vestments\"\u003eOrdinary Time vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stoles\u003c\/a\u003e, or read the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vestment-glossary\"\u003evestment glossary\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382762316011,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-STD","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382762348779,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M120","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408869990635,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M125","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408870023403,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M130","price":208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408870056171,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M135","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408870088939,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M140","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408870121707,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M145","price":238.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408870154475,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M150","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408870187243,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M155","price":258.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408870220011,"sku":"TCC-STL-GRN-CHI-028-M160","price":268.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/green-chalice-grapevine-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952558","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/green-chalice-grapevine-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
