{"product_id":"jerusalem-cross-chi-rho-red-stole","title":"Burgundy Latin Mass Stole with Jerusalem Cross and Chi Rho for Holy Week","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis priest's stole is cut from burgundy velvet-look cloth, each panel carrying a single wide gold-bordered band that runs its full length: a jeweled cross with radiating rays at the top, then a gold Jerusalem cross, a Chi Rho monogram inside a laurel wreath, an INRI banner, a small cross in a wreath, and a quatrefoil near the fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix motifs run down each panel in one continuous gold-bordered band, finished in ornate gold galloon trim - denser and more heraldic than most of our other red stoles. The Jerusalem cross, four small crosses set around one large one, has stood for Christ and the four Gospels since the Crusader era. The Chi Rho is the oldest monogram for Christ, formed from the first two Greek letters of His name, and the INRI banner quotes the inscription Pilate placed above the cross at the crucifixion. Read top to bottom, the sequence moves from Christ glorified at the top to the instruments of His Passion further down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed covers Passiontide and Holy Week, Pentecost, and the feasts of martyrs, and this stole's dense goldwork and traditional heraldic idiom suit the Latin Mass in particular, though it is equally correct at any red-day Mass in the ordinary form. It is not a stole for Lent's penitential Sundays outside Holy Week, which call for violet, nor for Ordinary Time, which calls for green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest who wants a formal, traditional stole with dense goldwork for the Latin Mass or for major red-letter days in either form of the Roman rite - Palm Sunday, Pentecost, or the feast of a martyr. Its weight and detail also suit it as an ordination gift for a priest drawn to the older tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over both shoulders; any made-to-measure length from 84 in to 120 in is priced the same as standard, with $10 added for every further 5 in past that, up to 160 in. The height box on the product page will suggest a length, which you can override - whatever you enter carries through to your cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eClergy Stoles\u003c\/a\u003e, see the rest of the red class in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-vestments\"\u003eRed Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, and read the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/vestment-glossary\"\u003evestment glossary\u003c\/a\u003e for terms like Chi Rho and quatrefoil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382756352235,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-STD","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382756385003,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M120","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408848593131,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M125","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408848625899,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M130","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408848658667,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M135","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408848691435,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M140","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408848724203,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M145","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408848756971,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M150","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408848789739,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M155","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408848822507,"sku":"TCC-STL-BRG-JER-035-M160","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/jerusalem-cross-chi-rho-red-stole-1.jpg?v=1788952629","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/jerusalem-cross-chi-rho-red-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
