Details

About this stole

The Tree of Life Pentecost Stole is a red stole embroidered on both panels with a white dove, an orange-gold flame and a large tree in brown and green thread, its roots visible at the base of each panel. It can be tailored to your own length.

Design and symbolism

Each panel carries a white dove near the shoulder, the Holy Spirit's usual image at Pentecost, followed by a flame in orange and gold recalling the tongues of fire at the Spirit's descent in Acts 2. Below both, a tree with a visible root system fills most of the panel's lower two-thirds, its branches in green leaf and its roots worked in brown thread at the hem. The tree of life is a long-standing Christian image drawn from scripture, and pairing it with roots left in full view, rather than trimming the tree at ground level, gives it more presence than a simple foliage motif.

Liturgical use

Red belongs to the red liturgical colour class, worn for Pentecost Sunday, for the feasts of martyrs and apostles, and by custom for ordinations. It is not the colour for Ordinary Time, Advent, Lent, or white-class solemnities. The dove-flame-tree sequence here reads specifically as a Pentecost and growth-in-faith design, so it suits Pentecost Sunday and Spirit-themed services more naturally than a general martyr's-feast red.

Who it is for

A priest, pastor or minister presiding at Pentecost, or marking an ordination where the imagery of the Spirit taking root in a new ministry has particular resonance. Its scale and detail also make it a considered ordination or installation gift.

Length and fit

Standard length is 120 in (305 cm) end to end over the shoulders, worn straight down in the presbyteral cut. Made-to-measure lengths from 84 in to 120 in cost the same as standard; beyond that, $10 is added for each further 5 in up to 160 in. The height box on this page suggests a length from the height you give, which you can adjust yourself. Your chosen length, height and any notes carry through to the cart, checkout and order.

FAQs

Before you order

Can I add a name or ordination year to this stole?

The design is fixed: the dove, flame and rooted tree are worked in the same layout on every order. What you can customise is the length, cut to any measurement you give us at no extra charge up to 120 in.

Why does the tree show its roots instead of just branches?

The embroidery deliberately carries the tree's root system down to the hem rather than stopping at ground level. It is a design choice that distinguishes this piece from a plain foliage motif, and it echoes the idea of a tree of life drawing its strength from what is unseen below the surface.

How long should my stole be?

Enter your height in the panel above and the page works it out: roughly 100 in for a wearer up to 5 ft 4 in, 104 in to 5 ft 8 in, 108 in to 6 ft, 112 in to 6 ft 4 in, and 116 in above that. Those figures follow the usual clergy proportion of 51, 53 and 55 inches per side.

It is a guide, not a rule. Some clergy like the ends at the knee and some at mid-calf, and a stole worn over a full alb hangs differently from one worn over a cassock. If you already know the length you like, type it in and ignore the suggestion.

Does a made-to-measure length cost extra?

Up to 120 in, no. Any finished length from 84 in to 120 in (213 to 305 cm) is available at the standard price. Past 120 in we add $10 for every 5 in, so 125 in is $10 more, 130 in is $20 more, and 160 in, the longest we offer, is $80 more.

The price on the page is the price you pay. Choose Made to Measure, type the length you want, and the band updates the price before you add to cart. We confirm every made-to-measure length by email. If you need longer than 160 in, write to support@theclergycouture.com and we will quote it.

Is this cut for a priest or for a deacon?

It is made in the presbyteral cut, worn straight down over both shoulders. That is the way a priest, a pastor or a minister wears a stole, and it is what the photographs on this page show.

A deacon wears the stole across the body, from the left shoulder to the right hip. If you need it made that way, choose Made to Measure and say so in the notes, or write to support@theclergycouture.com before ordering so we can confirm it for this design.

How should the stole be cared for?

We recommend professional dry cleaning for embroidered vestments. Store the stole flat or loosely rolled rather than folded, so no crease forms across the embroidery, and keep it out of direct sunlight to protect the gold thread. The Journal's vestment care guide covers pressing, storage and stain removal in full.
