{"product_id":"red-dalmatic-holy-spirit-dove-stole","title":"Red Satin Dalmatic with Holy Spirit Dove and Deacon's Stole","description":"\u003cp\u003eA red satin dalmatic with gold orphrey bands, the descending dove of the Holy Spirit worked in gold at the breast and a gold flame at the end of the matching deacon's stole. Cut by The Clergy Couture in nine sizes from S to 6XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dove is shown descending, wings spread, in gold thread at the centre of the breast, and the stole carries a single gold flame at its falling end. The two signs belong together: the Spirit came down as a dove at the Jordan and as tongues of fire at Pentecost, and the garment carries both. Gold clavi run the length of the front and back, edged with a narrow gold line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep red satin rather than a bright scarlet, with gold banding applied so it stands slightly proud of the ground cloth. Red is the hardest liturgical colour to photograph and the easiest to get wrong in cloth; this one is held to a cardinal depth that holds its colour under warm chancel lighting. Wide open sleeves finished flat, with side slits from the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes, S to 6XL, measured flat across the finished garment: 28 in across the chest and 50 in long at S, 42 in and 60 in at 6XL. Because the figures are flat, double the chest width for the full circumference. A dalmatic hangs over an alb rather than fitting the body, so allow for what you wear underneath and take the larger size if you fall between two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen it is worn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed is worn at Pentecost and at Confirmation, for the fire of the Spirit; and on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, on feasts of the Lord's Passion and on the feasts of the apostles, evangelists and martyrs, for blood. A red set earns its keep across the year in a way a rose or a black one does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dalmatic and its matching deacon's stole.
