Details

About this stole

This Eucharistic stole is worked in ivory satin with a full sequence of Communion imagery down each panel: a cross enclosing a globe, a chalice with the host and a loaf of bread, wheat and grapes, a pair of clasped hands, and a dove above a gold tassel.

Design and symbolism

Each panel carries six motifs in sequence from the shoulder down. At the top, a gold cross encloses a stylised globe, setting the cross over the whole world rather than one place. Below it sit the chalice and host beside a loaf of bread — the Eucharist named outright — followed by wheat and a cluster of purple grapes, the raw elements of bread and wine. Further down, a pair of clasped hands, rendered in two different skin tones, reaches across the panel: an image of unity and reconciliation rather than a specifically Eucharistic sign. The sequence closes near the hem with a white dove worked above a small gold tassel. The back of the stole is left plain ivory satin with gold cord edging and gold fringe.

Liturgical use

Ivory and white belong to the same liturgical colour class, used for the greatest solemnities: Christmas, Easter, Corpus Christi, Trinity Sunday and the feasts of the Lord and of saints who were not martyrs. The direct chalice-host-bread imagery makes this stole a natural choice for Corpus Christi specifically, and the clasped hands broaden it to reconciliation, unity or mission-themed Communion services, where a parish's practice allows it. In many traditions white is also worn for weddings and, by family choice, for funerals. It is not worn in Lent or Advent, which take violet in most Western use, nor through the green Sundays of Ordinary Time.

Who it is for

A priest or pastor presiding at a white-class Eucharist will find the full set of Communion imagery here in one piece, without needing a second stole for a unity or mission-focused service — the clasped hands motif already carries that theme.

Length and fit

Standard finished length is 120 in (305 cm) 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 cost the same as standard, and beyond 120 in $10 is added for every further 5 in, to a maximum of 160 in. The height box on this page suggests a length from a given height, which can be overridden — the length, height and any notes you enter carry through to the cart, checkout and order.

Care

Dry clean only.

Because the ground is pale ivory, keep it away from make-up, ink and coloured drinks, which mark satin more visibly than a darker cloth.

Store rolled, not folded, to keep the embroidery flat.

Keep away from direct sunlight, and press from the reverse if needed.

FAQs

Before you order

Is this stole only for Corpus Christi, or any white feast?

The chalice, host and loaf point most directly to Corpus Christi, but the stole is worked in the standard white-and-gold class, so it is equally correct for any solemnity that takes that colour — Easter, Christmas, Trinity Sunday and the feasts of the Lord among them.

Corpus Christi is simply where its imagery lines up most closely with the day.

What do the clasped hands on this stole represent?

The hands are shown in two different skin tones, reaching across the panel, worked as a general image of unity and reconciliation rather than a reference to one specific rite.

They sit alongside the Eucharistic motifs rather than replacing them, so the stole can be worn at an ordinary white-class Eucharist or at a service that specifically marks reconciliation or unity.

How long should my stole be?

Enter your height in the panel above and the page works it out: roughly 100 in for a wearer up to 5 ft 4 in, 104 in to 5 ft 8 in, 108 in to 6 ft, 112 in to 6 ft 4 in, and 116 in above that. Those figures follow the usual clergy proportion of 51, 53 and 55 inches per side.

It is a guide, not a rule. Some clergy like the ends at the knee and some at mid-calf, and a stole worn over a full alb hangs differently from one worn over a cassock. If you already know the length you like, type it in and ignore the suggestion.

Does a made-to-measure length cost extra?

Up to 120 in, no. Any finished length from 84 in to 120 in (213 to 305 cm) is available at the standard price. Past 120 in we add $10 for every 5 in, so 125 in is $10 more, 130 in is $20 more, and 160 in, the longest we offer, is $80 more.

The price on the page is the price you pay. Choose Made to Measure, type the length you want, and the band updates the price before you add to cart. We confirm every made-to-measure length by email. If you need longer than 160 in, write to support@theclergycouture.com and we will quote it.

Is this cut for a priest or for a deacon?

It is made in the presbyteral cut, worn straight down over both shoulders. That is the way a priest, a pastor or a minister wears a stole, and it is what the photographs on this page show.

A deacon wears the stole across the body, from the left shoulder to the right hip. If you need it made that way, choose Made to Measure and say so in the notes, or write to support@theclergycouture.com before ordering so we can confirm it for this design.

How should the stole be cared for?

We recommend professional dry cleaning for embroidered vestments. Store the stole flat or loosely rolled rather than folded, so no crease forms across the embroidery, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the gold thread. The Journal's vestment care guide covers pressing, storage and stain removal in full.
