Priestly stole with gold-embroidered JHS and floral motif

Priest's stole made of fabric composed of 80% polyester and 20% wool, with direct machine embroidery in gold thread depicting the JHS symbol, accompanied by a floral decoration extending above the trigram. Available in the 4 liturgical colors. The stole has a total length of 262 cm and, when worn, reaches well below the knee. Made in Poland by a company specializing in the production of sacred vestments. The use of the stole is always mandatory during celebrations and rites for bishops, priests, and deacons (who use a different stole, as it must be worn differently from a priest). When wearing it, the priest (bishop or presbyter) lets it hang straight from the shoulders down to the legs, while the deacon wears it crosswise, from the left shoulder to the right hip. Over time, the stole's symbolism has evolved: initially, it represented the office that deacons and priests accepted during ordination; later, it came to symbolize the virtues of the priest, making it a symbol of humility, wisdom, patience, purity, and fortitude. Can be paired with chasuble 41085, lectern cover 42956, and Mass set 42934
