{"product_id":"rose-gold-cross-gaudete-stole","title":"Rose Stole with Roses and a Radiant Gold Cross for Gaudete and Laetare","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis rose stole is worked in a dusty rose satin, embroidered on both panels with a vertical vine of cream, blush and dusty-pink roses, a radiant gold cross set partway down among the flowers, and a small plain gold cross near the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rose vine runs the full length of each panel in cream, blush and dusty-pink thread with green leaves, and a gold cross with radiating rays is set within the vine rather than beside it, so the cross reads as part of the planting rather than an applied emblem. A second, plainer gold cross sits near the hem below a further cluster of roses. The rose itself has long stood as an image of joy tempered with restraint, which is the mood of the two Sundays this colour marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose is a permitted colour on only two days in the Western calendar: Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent, and Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent, both days of relief within otherwise penitential or preparatory seasons. Outside those two Sundays, violet is worn for the rest of Advent and Lent, and not every tradition observes rose vestments at all. This stole is not a general Advent or Lent piece; it belongs specifically to those two Sundays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA priest or pastor who observes Gaudete and Laetare Sunday and wants a single stole for both occasions, or a gift for clergy who value having the correct rose vestment on hand rather than substituting violet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard finished 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 are priced the same as standard, and $10 is added for every further 5 in beyond 120 in, up to 160 in.
