{"product_id":"white-dove-rainbow-baptism-stole","title":"White Baptism Stole with Dove and Rainbow Covenant Embroidery","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Baptism Covenant Stole is a white stole for the sacrament it is named for, carrying a dove and olive sprig at the neckline and a rainbow that runs the length of each panel to a small pool of water at the hem. It is available in any length between 84 in and 160 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single white dove, carrying a sprig of olive in its beak, sits near the neck of the right-hand panel. Below it, a rainbow in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet arcs downward as a wavy ribbon rather than a static band, with small blue droplets stitched alongside it, and the design closes at the hem in a wave-like pool of blue. The dove and olive branch recall the bird Noah sent from the ark, and by extension the Holy Spirit descending at Christ's own baptism in the Jordan. The rainbow is the sign God set after the flood as a promise not to abandon creation, which is why baptism liturgies so often reach for it: the water that once judged the world now, in baptism, brings a person into the covenant instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiturgical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite is the colour of baptism in every tradition that assigns colours to the rite at all, so there is no caveat needed here as there is with some Advent or Marian pieces. This stole is built for the sacrament itself: infant baptism, adult baptism, christening, and, where a congregation extends the same white to it, confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePriests, pastors and deacons who baptise are the obvious wearers, and the design says so plainly rather than leaving the occasion to guesswork. The back of the stole is left plain, with only the shaped neck yoke for shape and no embroidery, so the visual weight sits entirely on the front, where the congregation and the family at the font will see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard length is 120 in (305 cm), measured end to end over the shoulders in the usual presbyteral cut. Any length from 84 in to 120 in is priced the same as standard, and beyond that $10 is added for every further 5 in, to a maximum of 160 in. Enter your height in the box on this page for a suggested length, then adjust it if you want something different; the figure you settle on, along with your height and any notes, carries through to your cart and your finished order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/baptism-and-confirmation-vestments\"\u003ebaptism and confirmation vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, browse other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/white-and-ivory-vestments\"\u003ewhite vestments\u003c\/a\u003e, or see the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/clergy-stoles\"\u003eclergy stole\u003c\/a\u003e range.
