{"product_id":"red-pentecost-repeating-dove-flame-stole","title":"Pentecost Clergy Stole in Red with a Repeating Dove, Flame and Cross Motif","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere some of our other Pentecost stoles place the dove, flame and rainbow once, this piece repeats a smaller flame-and-cross unit three times down each panel, linked by a thin gold scroll, with a single dove worked near the top of each side. It is worked on a red ground with a faint tone-on-tone diamond weave, and can be tailored to your length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNear the top of each panel a small gold-outlined dove sits above a repeating unit of a flame over a cross, joined by a fine gold scroll; that unit appears three times down the length of each panel before ending in one further flame just above the fringe. The dove is the familiar sign of the Holy Spirit; the flame recalls the tongues of fire that descended on the apostles at Pentecost in Acts 2; the cross needs no gloss. The repetition itself is a design choice - a rhythm carried down the panel - rather than a count with a fixed symbolic number attached to it. At the back neck, a single gold cross sits on a velvet-look red collar, while the hanging panels show a plain ivory-cream tone from behind rather than red - the reverse face of the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed is the colour of Pentecost and of Confirmation across the traditions that mark them, and this stole's dove-flame-cross imagery is built squarely for both. It also suits ordinations timed near Pentecost and other services centred on the Holy Spirit. It is a specific piece rather than a general-purpose red: keep it for these occasions rather than for the feasts of martyrs, where a plainer red stole is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut as a presbyteral stole for a pastor or minister, it suits clergy who preach at Pentecost and Confirmation services and want the Spirit's imagery repeated rather than stated once, and it works as a Confirmation-season gift for a minister who already owns a plainer red stole.\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. Made-to-measure lengths from 84 in to 120 in are priced the same as standard, and $10 is added for every further 5 in beyond that, up to 160 in.
