The gold cross is stitched into the cloth on both ends, never a patch or a print. The cloth is backed in satin, and each end finishes in 2 inches of gold fringe. 104 inches end to end: 52 a side, 3 inches wide at the neck and 4.5 at the ends.
The embroidery is stitched on the stole itself, not a patch.
Want the full embroidery? The black stole, with its own symbols on each end, is $34.99.
What it means
Its arms end in three buds, and the cross itself is the plainest sign of the faith: a stole for the services of its season.
A single gold budded cross on each end.
When it is worn
Black is the colour of mourning. The Roman Missal allows it, where it is the practice, in Masses for the Dead, and it is the traditional colour of All Souls. Anglican funerals may use it, and Missouri Synod Lutherans wear it on Good Friday and, as an alternative to violet, on Ash Wednesday.
