Fleur de Lys Cross Stole - Purple Priest Stole with Intricate Embroidery – Liturgical Vestment

Presenting our exquisite Fleur de Lys Cross Stole, expertly crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The cross is machine-embroidered onto the stole over foam padding, creating a striking three-dimensional effect that adds depth and richness to its design.

As part of our exclusive collection, this stole merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques to offer a truly unique and elegant vestment—perfect for clergy seeking something distinctive and meaningful.

The stole showcases a unique bell bottom silhouette, gracefully flaring at the ends to create an elegant shape that distinguishes it from conventional straight-cut stoles. This design not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the garment's flow and drape, blending liturgical tradition with refined style.

Featuring a sophisticated Gothic pattern of Ogee and Rose motifs, this fabric draws inspiration from Domenico Ghirlandio’s "Stories of St. Fina" in the Collegiate Church at San Gimignano near Florence. Crafted from a durable and comfortable blend of 55% cotton and 45% viscose, it embodies both beauty and quality.

The Purple Priest Stole draws its name from the Latin stola, originating from the Greek στολή (stolē), meaning "garment." This sacred vestment, worn alongside the cincture and maniple, symbolizes the bonds and fetters with which Jesus was bound during His Passion, serving as a powerful reminder of His sacrifice.

Crafted in a rich purple hue, this stole holds deep significance in Catholic tradition. Purple (or violet) represents penance, repentance, and preparation, especially observed during the seasons of Advent and Lent. It encourages reflection, self-discipline, and spiritual growth in the wearer and congregation. Furthermore, this color embodies the suffering and sacrifice of Christ, while also expressing mourning and sorrow during funeral services.

Priests wear the purple stole when hearing confessions, emphasizing penitence and the call to repentance. Perfect for liturgical use, this elegantly embroidered stole enriches the solemnity and reverence of your sacred ceremonies.
