Large stole in multicolored jacquard fabric. Cotton blend

Beautiful 129 cm-long stole, made from a particularly distinctive jacquard fabric composed of several materials: 47% cotton, 31% viscose, 14% polyester, 4% nylon, 3% acrylic, and 1% other fibers. Entirely made in Italy by a company of skilled artisans that has been operating in the sacred vestments sector for many years, creating handcrafted products of the highest quality. The use of the stole is always mandatory for the bishop, priest, and deacon during celebrations and rites (although the deacon uses a different stole, as it must be worn differently from the priest's). 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 virtues of the priest, making it a symbol of humility, wisdom, patience, purity, and fortitude.
