{"product_id":"green-velvet-celtic-knotwork-stole","title":"Green Velvet and Gold Celtic Knotwork Stole for Ordinary Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stole sets a dense, repeating Celtic knotwork pattern in gold thread onto green velvet panels, with a small Celtic cross worked into the back collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach velvet panel is filled top to bottom with a rectangular repeat of interlaced gold knotwork — loops that cross under and over one another without a visible beginning or end. That unbroken line is the standard reading of Celtic interlace in a Christian context: a visual statement of a faith without end. At the back collar, on a matching patch of green velvet, a small gold ringed cross is embroidered where only the wearer sees it — the ring joining circle and cross in the form associated with Celtic Christianity. The shoulders and back body of the stole are cut in plain ivory satin, a contrast that sets the velvet panels apart, and the ends close in gold bullion fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen is the colour of Ordinary Time, the long stretches of the calendar between the major seasons. This is not a stole for Advent, Lent, Christmas or Easter, all of which take other colours. Within Ordinary Time it carries no further restriction, and the Celtic knotwork will read most pointedly in a congregation with Celtic roots or an interest in that visual tradition, though there is no rule confining it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest or pastor who wants a green Ordinary Time stole with real weight to the fabric, or a gift for an ordination where Celtic symbolism suits the person being ordained.\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 each side. Any made-to-measure length between 84 in and 120 in is priced the same as standard; past 120 in, $10 is added for each further 5 in, to a maximum of 160 in.
