The crown of thorns on the chest of this stole is a reminder of the one the Roman soldiers plaited and mockingly placed upon Jesus' head.  The three nails are a passion symbol for our Lord.  The story of the crucifision does not mention the use of nails, but we get tehis information from Thomas after the Resurrection when he asked to feel the wounds made by the nails (John 20:25).

The stole front is crafted from a violet/purple cotton evenweave. The nails are appliqued and finished with machine embroidery . The crown is handpainted with textile paint. It is lined with a print cotton purple fabric (see photo). It is interfaced for extra body.Stole is 49" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on one side.   It measures 4 1/2" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.

The money bag on this stole represents Judas who with thirty pieces of silver, betrayed our lord for the money, but seeing what he had done, he returned it in remorse.  The wavy strips represent the looking inward and outward to the past and our future that we do during this season of reflection. It has a gold cross on the back tip.
 
This stole is 54" long and is 4 1/4" wide tapering to 2 1/2" at the neck.  It is crafted out of a purple polyester fabric and has been machine appliqued with a few handpainted details added.  It is lined in the same fabric. 
 

The three crosses on the chest of this stole symbolize Christ on the Cross flanked by the two thieves that were crucified with Him. The abstract shapes on the border of the stole recall the story of the Passion beginning with grey for Ash Wednesday. Grey is the color of ashes and therefore a Biblical symbol of mourning and repentance.  These are followed by red for Maundy Thursday, a symbol of the disciples.  A reminder of Good Friday is found in the color black.  It symbolizes the darkness brought into the world by sin.  The stole is capped off with a bit of white for the joy that we are able to celebrate in Easter at the end of Lent.

The stole front is crafted from a purple polished cotton. The crosses are appliqued and finished with machine embroidery. The bits of color on the border are raw edge appliqued and adhered with narrow bands of horizontal free motion stitching. It is lined with a greyish purple broadcloth and has been interfaced with flannel (you can't see this) to give it body. Stole is 51" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on one side.   It measures 4 7/8" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.

The stripes and variety of the purples on this stole remind us of the many stages of prayer, fasting and pentinence we experience while preparing for Easter.  The palm is the sign of victory commemorating Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem.  The rooster recalls Peter's denial.  The crown of thorns reminds us of what was placed mockingly on Jesus' head.

The stole front is crafted from the softest, variegated purple cotton. The stripes are appliqued and finished with machine embroidery. The symbols are handpainted with textile paint and are accented with free motion stitching. It is lined with the same cotton fabric as the front and is interfaced for added body. Stole is 51" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on one side.   It measures 4 1/2" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 1/2" at the neck.

Celebrate the passion of Palm Sunday with this vibrant red stole. The Palms on the beautiful border fabric recall Jesus' entry into Jerusalum. Thes chest is embellished with the Latin Passion cross. The pointed ends represent the suffering of Christ at his crucifixion.

The stole front is crafted from a bright red line/cotton blend. The cross is appliqued and finished with machine embroidery. It is lined with a bright red cotton broadcloth fabric and is interfaced for added body.Stole is 49" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on one side.   It measures 4 1/2" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.
