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 Rose of Jesse stole, with its own symbols on each end, is $34.99.

What it means

Each arm ends in a trefoil of three buds, and the cross itself is the plainest sign of the faith: a stole for the services of its season.

A single gold trefoil cross on each end.

When it is worn

Blue is worn in Advent in many Lutheran churches and in some Episcopal and Methodist churches, as a colour of hope; others keep violet or purple. Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas.
