{"product_id":"green-tree-of-life-creation-stole","title":"Green Ombre Clergy Stole with Tree of Life, River, Fish and Doves","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis green stole shades from sage at the shoulders to a deeper forest green at the hem, embroidered on both panels with a gold sunburst, two doves in flight, a gold tree with visible roots, a winding blue river carrying small fish, and sprays of gold wheat near the hem, the whole scene framed top and bottom by a gold-and-brown geometric band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike the plain-ground Franciscan stole elsewhere in this range, this design is worked on an ombre ground that shades from sage green at the shoulder to a deeper forest green at the hem, and it tells a landscape scene rather than a single motif: a gold sunburst and two white doves at the top, a gold tree with its roots showing at the base of the trunk, a blue river winding beneath it with small fish, and sprays of wheat near the hem. A decorative gold-and-brown band frames the scene at both top and bottom. The tree of life and the river together recall the vision in Revelation 22 of a tree bearing fruit beside \"the river of the water of life,\" and the fish is a long-standing sign of the faithful and of baptism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen is worn through Ordinary Time, the periods of the church year outside Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Eastertide. This creation-themed design suits Ordinary Time generally and reads particularly well for baptisms and harvest or thanksgiving services, where water and growth are already part of the day's imagery. It is not intended for Lent, Advent, or the white, red or rose seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest or pastor presiding at a baptism, a harvest or creation-themed service, or simply wanting a scenic green stole with more narrative detail than a plain-ground Ordinary Time piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm) end to end over the shoulders, worn straight down in the presbyteral cut. Any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in is priced the same as standard, and lengths beyond 120 in, to a maximum of 160 in, add $10 for every further 5 in. Enter your height in the box on this page for a suggested length, which you can override with your own figure.
