Priest's stole with golden Pax symbol embroidery

Beautiful ivory priestly stole, made of fabric composed of 80% Polyester and 20% Wool, with direct embroidery in red and gold thread, machine-embroidered, depicting the Pax symbol with a decoration of ears of wheat and grapes representing the Eucharist. The stole is 260 cm long overall and, when worn, reaches well below the knee. Available in ivory, red, and purple. 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, presbyters, and deacons (who, however, use a different stole, as they wear it differently from priests). When wearing it, the priest (bishop or presbyter) lets it hang straight from the shoulders to the legs, while the deacon wears it diagonally, 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 priest's virtues, making it a symbol of humility, wisdom, patience, purity, and fortitude.
