{"product_id":"red-orange-dove-flame-pentecost-stole","title":"Red-Orange Pentecost Stole with Dove, Vine Crosses and Flame Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pentecost Dove Stole is worked in a warm red-orange satin-faced cloth rather than a true scarlet, embroidered top to bottom on both panels with a small gold and white dove, a vine of gold thread carrying three small crosses, and a stylized gold-orange flame set just above the fringed hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach panel opens at the shoulder with a small dove worked in gold and white thread, the standard image of the Holy Spirit used at Pentecost and at Baptism. Below it a slender gold vine runs the length of the panel, with three small crosses set along its branches, a nod to Christ's words in John's gospel, \"I am the vine, you are the branches.\" The vine ends at a stylized flame in gold and orange near the hem, recalling the tongues of fire described in Acts 2 at the descent of the Spirit on the apostles. The embroidery sits as a single vertical column rather than a repeated pattern, so the eye reads it top to bottom as one sequence: dove, vine, flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed-orange sits within the red liturgical colour class. Red is worn for Pentecost Sunday, for the feasts of martyrs and apostles, for Palm Sunday and Good Friday in some traditions, and often for confirmations and ordinations. It is not worn in Ordinary Time, in Advent or Lent, or on white-class solemnities such as Easter or Christmas. Because the tone here leans warmer than a pure scarlet, some clergy prefer it specifically for Pentecost and Holy Spirit-themed services rather than for Passion-themed red days, though that is a matter of personal or parish preference rather than rubric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stole suits a minister, pastor or deacon leading a Pentecost service, a confirmation, or an ordination where the Holy Spirit is the theme of the day. Its dove-and-flame reading also makes it a fitting ordination or installation gift for clergy in Protestant and ecumenical settings, where a pointed-yoke, single-column design of this kind is common.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard finished length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over the shoulders, and it is worn straight down over both shoulders in the presbyteral cut. Any 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. Enter a height in the box on this page and it will suggest a length, which you are free to override. The length you choose, the height you give and any notes you add all carry through to your cart, checkout and order confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the full range in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eClergy Stoles\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pentecost-vestments\"\u003ePentecost Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, browse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/custom-vestments\"\u003eCustom Vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or check the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/liturgical-colour-guide\"\u003eliturgical colour guide\u003c\/a\u003e before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382803767531,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-STD","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382803800299,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M120","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408852459755,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M125","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408852492523,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M130","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408852525291,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M135","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408852558059,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M140","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408852590827,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M145","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408852623595,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M150","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408852656363,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M155","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408852689131,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-061-M160","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/red-orange-dove-flame-pentecost-stole-1.jpg?v=1788954480","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/red-orange-dove-flame-pentecost-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
