Priestly stole with gold-embroidered Chalice, Cross and vine

Beautiful priestly stole made of damask fabric consisting of 80% polyester and 20% wool, with direct machine embroidery in gold thread. One side depicts a chalice and the other a cross, accompanied by a gold decoration covering much of the stole and representing the vine. Available in the 4 liturgical colors. The stole has a total length of 258 cm and, when worn, extends 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 that of 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 diagonally, from the left shoulder to the right hip. Over time, the stole has developed its symbolism: initially, it represented the office accepted by deacons and priests during ordination; later, it came to symbolize the virtues of the priest, making it a symbol of humility, wisdom, patience, purity, and fortitude.
