{"product_id":"red-stained-glass-dove-flame-stole","title":"Red Pentecost Stole with Dove, Flame and Stained Glass Rainbow Panel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis red stole layers three images down each panel in a fixed order: a small gold flame at the shoulder, a white dove below it, and then a geometric panel of angular colour blocks in rainbow hues, styled after stained glass, running down to the fringe. It can be tailored to your own length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the very top of each panel, near the collar, a small gold flame is worked front and back, echoing the \"tongues of fire\" that descended on the apostles at Pentecost in Acts 2. Below it, a dove in white thread represents the Holy Spirit in its more familiar form. The lower two-thirds of each panel is given over to an angular, faceted panel of rainbow colour blocks outlined in gold, built to resemble stained glass rather than a simple striped ribbon - it is the most geometrically worked rainbow treatment in our range, and the only one built from blocks rather than stripes. Gold fringe finishes both hems. The stained-glass rainbow sits below the flame and dove rather than replacing them, so the piece keeps its Pentecost symbolism intact even where the rainbow is also read as a sign of affirming welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed is the colour of Pentecost across the traditions that keep it, and the flame-and-dove imagery here points directly at that feast. It also suits Confirmation, where the same Spirit is invoked, and it works well for an affirming or Pride-season service where a minister wants both the Pentecost narrative and a visible rainbow in the same piece. It is not an Ordinary Time red in the everyday, plain sense - the imagery is specific enough that it reads best on the days it was designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut as a presbyteral stole for a pastor, priest or minister, it suits clergy preaching at Pentecost or Confirmation who also want the piece to carry an explicitly affirming visual note, and it makes a strong ordination gift for a minister entering that kind of ministry.\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 made-to-measure lengths from 84 in to 120 in cost the same as standard. Beyond 120 in, $10 is added for every further 5 in, up to 160 in. Enter your height in the box on this page for a suggested length, or override it with your own figure; the length, height and any notes you provide carry through to your cart, checkout and order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee it with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-vestments\"\u003ered vestments\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pentecost-vestments\"\u003ePentecost vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/affirming-and-inclusive-vestments\"\u003eaffirming and inclusive vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or check the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stole\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Clergy Couture","offers":[{"title":"Standard 120 in","offer_id":49382797115627,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-STD","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure up to 120 in","offer_id":49382797148395,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M120","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 121-125 in","offer_id":49408845152491,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M125","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 126-130 in","offer_id":49408845185259,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M130","price":208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 131-135 in","offer_id":49408845218027,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M135","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 136-140 in","offer_id":49408845250795,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M140","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 141-145 in","offer_id":49408845283563,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M145","price":238.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 146-150 in","offer_id":49408845316331,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M150","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 151-155 in","offer_id":49408845349099,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M155","price":258.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Made to Measure 156-160 in","offer_id":49408845381867,"sku":"TCC-STL-RED-DOV-057-M160","price":268.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/8375\/8571\/files\/red-stained-glass-dove-flame-stole-1.jpg?v=1788954480","url":"https:\/\/theclergycouture.com\/products\/red-stained-glass-dove-flame-stole","provider":"The Clergy Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
