{"product_id":"green-tree-of-life-stole","title":"Tree of Life Stole in Green Satin, Multicolour Leaves on a Plain Ground","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stole keeps most of each green panel plain, and lets a single embroidered tree, in a canopy of six or more colours, carry the whole design low near the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere several stoles in our range run embroidery the full length of the panel, this one does the opposite: a long stretch of plain green satin runs from the shoulder down, and only in the lower third does a tree appear, with a brown-gold trunk and root base and a canopy worked in red, orange, yellow, green, teal and purple. A small gold outline cross sits at the back collar. The tree of life is a scriptural image that runs from the garden in Genesis to the city in Revelation, standing for growth, healing and permanence; the wide range of leaf colours here reads naturally as a gathered congregation, varied but rooted in one place. There is no fringe on this stole; the ends are left plain, which keeps the eye on the tree itself rather than on a decorated hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen is the colour of Ordinary Time, and this stole carries no further seasonal marker — the tree of life is not tied to a specific feast in any tradition represented here. It is not worn during Advent, Lent, Christmas or Easter, and it makes no claim to a colour beyond the plain green of the ordinary Sundays it is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pastor, minister or priest who prefers a quieter, less densely worked stole for regular Ordinary Time services, or wants a lighter piece for warm-weather wear. The large plain area above the motif also gives a congregation room to notice the tree itself, rather than reading it as one detail among many.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard finished length is \u003cstrong\u003e120 in (305 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e, end to end over both shoulders, in a presbyteral cut worn straight down. Lengths from 84 in to 120 in, made to measure, cost the same as standard; beyond 120 in, $10 is added per further 5 in, up to 160 in.
