{"product_id":"ivory-easter-lily-alpha-omega-stole","title":"Ivory and Gold Clergy Stole with Easter Lily Vine and Alpha Omega Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a pastor's or priest's stole in ivory and gold, its lily vine, Alpha and Omega letters and radiating cross all worked tone on tone in a single gold and tan palette, finished in gold beaded fringe. It can be tailored to your own length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel carries, from collar to hem, a climbing lily vine with open trumpet blooms, a gold letter, Alpha on the left panel, Omega on the right, a gold cross with lines radiating from it like rays, and a second lily spray near the hem. Unlike stoles that mix several thread colours, this one stays in gold and tan throughout, which gives it a quieter, more restrained look than a fully polychrome design. The \u003cstrong\u003eEaster lily\u003c\/strong\u003e is a familiar sign of the resurrection, its white trumpet read as new life breaking from a bulb that has lain dormant in the ground. \u003cstrong\u003eAlpha and Omega\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, name Christ as \"the beginning and the end\" (Revelation 22:13), and here they flank a cross whose radiating lines suggest the risen and glorified Christ. A single small gold cross is embroidered at the centre of the back neck flap, and gold beaded fringe finishes both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite and gold is the class for Easter, and the lily and Alpha\/Omega pairing ties this stole to that season specifically, though the white class more broadly also covers other solemnities. It is not suited to Lent or to Ordinary Time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pastor or priest leading Easter services will find its restrained tone-on-tone design sits well against festal white altar linens, and its quieter palette also makes it a fitting ordination gift for someone who prefers understated gold work to a fully coloured design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), end to end over both shoulders. A made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in costs the same as standard; beyond 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. The height box on this page will suggest a length, which you can change; your confirmed length, height and any notes carry through to your cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee more in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/easter-vestments\"\u003eEaster vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stoles\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ordination-gifts\"\u003eordination gifts\u003c\/a\u003e, or read the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/fabric-guide\"\u003efabric guide\u003c\/a\u003e for how tone-on-tone gold work is best cared for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382779846891,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-STD","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382779879659,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M120","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408869171435,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M125","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408869204203,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M130","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408869236971,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M135","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408869269739,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M140","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408869302507,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M145","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408869335275,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M150","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408869368043,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M155","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408869400811,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-077-M160","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/ivory-easter-lily-alpha-omega-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952601","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/ivory-easter-lily-alpha-omega-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
