This green stole is perfect for remembering the work of Saint Patrick or any day during Ordinary
Time. As Romans 1:7 teaches us, we are all called to be holy. Saint Patrick understood this as he heard and answered
the call to convert many in Ireland to Christianity. The fabric of the stole is subtly embellished with shamrocks. The shamrock
is a symbol of the Trinity and of St. Patrick, who used it to explain to unbelievers how God is One God in three Persons.
The very ornamental cross and border symbols are done in the style of Celtic art.
The stole front is crafted from a green pima batiked cotton.
The symbols are appliqued and finished with machine embroidery using variegated threads. It is lined with a kelly
green broadcloth. Stole is 52 1/2" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on
one side. It measures 4 3/4" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.
