{"product_id":"ivory-lily-vine-stole","title":"Easter Lily Clergy Stole in Ivory with Lily-of-the-Valley and Gold Star","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis priest's stole is worked in ivory satin-look cloth, with a black velvet-look neckband trimmed in gold. Each panel carries a single vertical vine of Easter lilies and smaller lily-of-the-valley bell flowers, topped by a small gold star and finished at the base with a gold ribbon bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vine is continuous rather than a repeating pattern, running the full length of each panel in cream and sage-green thread against the ivory ground, bordered in gold piping. A small gold star sits at the top of the vine, and a gold bow finishes it at the hem - both decorative details rather than fixed symbols in their own right. The Easter lily is the standard flower of the Resurrection in Western churches, and the lily-of-the-valley beside it strengthens the same reading of purity and new life rather than introducing a separate meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite and ivory belong to Easter and to Marian feasts, and this stole's floral, devotional character suits both well. It also works for weddings and ordinations, where white is customary in most Western traditions regardless of the season elsewhere in the calendar. Some parishes also permit ivory pieces at funerals that emphasise resurrection hope rather than mourning, though black or violet remains more common for that occasion. It is not the stole for Lent, Advent or the long green stretch of Ordinary Time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, minister or deacon who wants a softer, botanical alternative to the heraldic cross-and-monogram stoles in the white and gold class, for Easter Sundays, Marian feast days, weddings and ordinations. The black velvet neckband gives it a more tailored, formal look on the shoulders than an all-ivory piece, which some clergy prefer for photographs and processions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured over both shoulders, with any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in priced the same as standard. Beyond 120 in, $10 is added for each further 5 in, up to 160 in. Enter your height on the product page for a suggested length, and adjust it if you prefer - your figure carries through to the cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee more in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eClergy Stoles\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marian-feast-vestments\"\u003eMarian Feast Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e for related designs, or check the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-guide\"\u003emeasuring guide\u003c\/a\u003e before ordering a custom length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382755401963,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-STD","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382755434731,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M120","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408838435051,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M125","price":194.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408838467819,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M130","price":204.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408838500587,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M135","price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408838533355,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M140","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408838566123,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M145","price":234.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408838598891,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M150","price":244.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408838631659,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M155","price":254.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408838664427,"sku":"TCC-STL-IVY-LIL-034-M160","price":264.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/ivory-lily-vine-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952602","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/ivory-lily-vine-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
