Priest's stole with golden JHS symbol

Priestly stole made of fabric composed of 80% polyester and 20% wool, with a solid-color finish and a simple yet elegant gold-colored embroidery featuring the JHS symbol. Available in the 4 liturgical colors. The stole’s overall length is 256 cm; when worn, it 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 the priest’s). When putting it on, the priest (bishop or presbyter) lets it hang straight from the shoulders down 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 virtues of the priest, making it a symbol of humility, wisdom, patience, purity, and fortitude.
