The embroidery is stitched on the stole itself, not a patch.

What it means

Beneath the cross, wheat and vine leaves speak of the bread and wine of Communion. White is the colour of joy and of resurrection, for Christmas, Easter and feasts of the Lord other than of his Passion.

A gold Latin cross with ears of wheat and grape leaves on a gold vine.

When it is worn

White is worn through the Christmas and Easter seasons (the Day of Pentecost, which closes Easter, is red), on feasts of the Lord other than of his Passion, and for saints who were not martyrs. Episcopal use adds marriages and funerals.
