liturgical stoles

 
.  Stoles are initially given to a pastor/priest on the event of ordination from seminary.  These stoles are also given as gifts from loved ones and congregations or as a personal purchase.  Stoles shown are one-of-a-kind examples available immediately, unless noted.

handsewn and handpainted liturgical stoles for pastors and priests

   Traditional liturgical colors of the church season are blue, white, purple, red, and green. Blue as hope in Advent; white for purity at Christmas and Easter; purple as repentance, suffering, and royalty during Lent and Advent; red as blood of sacrificed Christ during Lent,  fire of Holy Spirit during Pentecost, and ordination's yoke of Christ. Green represents times of spiritual growth in the church year.

   Careful research has gone into designing appropriate symbols for the various church seasons, while personal reflection and interpretation goes into designing others.  One of a kind designs are most often created.  Repeated designs will vary due to hand painted nature.  Individual artist statement is included with each stole.  Commission work is also available. 

   Stole fiber content varies.  Self-lined but not interfaced.  67" X 6". Attached collar chain to prevent slippage. Not washable or dry cleanable. Fabric and artwork treated with fabric protectant on some. Dry/damp blot; touch up iron with low setting, while avoiding artwork.

**Contact chillon@chillonleach.com for stole purchases (tax exempt status, if applicable), view additional samples/sketches/close-up photos, or to inquire about custom work.

Prices range from $175 to $350.  Taxes and shipping extra.
