{"product_id":"red-ombre-flame-dove-stole","title":"Red Ombre Pentecost Stole with Painted Flame and Dove Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere a traditional Pentecost stole sets its dove and flame against a flat red ground, this one lets the cloth itself carry the fire: a dip-dyed gradient from deep burgundy at the shoulder to warm orange at the hem, with flame shapes and a white dove worked into the colour field in gold and orange thread. It is designed for Pentecost and for ordinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a fine-woven cloth with a dip-dyed colour gradient rather than a flat woven colour: it moves from deep burgundy at the top of the panel through to a warm orange near the hem, a true gradient rather than a solid ground with an applied motif. A white embroidered dove sits at the upper chest of one panel, ringed by fine gold swirl and ray lines, while stylised flame shapes in orange, gold and red rise up through the lower half of both panels, threaded with further gold swirl accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dove descending into fire remains the same image used across our Pentecost designs: the Holy Spirit's coming, recalled from the tongues of fire in Acts 2. Here the flame is rendered with a painterly, gestural quality rather than a crisp appliqué shape, and the colour gradient itself stands in for the movement of fire rather than fixing it at one point on the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed belongs to Pentecost Sunday and, in many traditions, to ordination rites, since the same Spirit invoked at Pentecost is invoked over a new priest or minister. This stole's imagery is built specifically around that Pentecost dove-and-fire theme, so it is best kept to Pentecost, ordination and confirmation services rather than worn on a general red day such as a martyr's feast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest, pastor or minister who wants a more contemporary, painterly take on the Pentecost stole, rather than the crisper appliqué look of a traditional design, is the person this piece suits. If you would prefer a plain red ground with the dove and flame set only at the hem, see our other red Pentecost stole in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stole finishes at a standard 120 in (305 cm), end to end over both shoulders. Anything from 84 in to 120 in is made to measure at that same standard price, and lengths past 120 in, up to 160 in, are charged $10 per additional 5 in. A height entered on the product page returns a suggested length, which you are welcome to adjust; whatever you settle on is recorded with your order at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare it with our other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-vestments\"\u003ered vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stole collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or read our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/fabric-guide\"\u003efabric guide\u003c\/a\u003e for more on how an ombre finish differs from a solid satin ground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382799048939,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-STD","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382799081707,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M120","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408847085803,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M125","price":194.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408847118571,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M130","price":204.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408847151339,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M135","price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408847184107,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M140","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408847216875,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M145","price":234.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408847249643,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M150","price":244.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408847282411,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M155","price":254.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408847315179,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-FLM-046-M160","price":264.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/red-ombre-flame-dove-stole-1.jpg?v=1788954481","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/red-ombre-flame-dove-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
