During religious services, clergy members wear the pastor or priest stole, which symbolizes the authority given by the congregation. The pastor’s and priest’s stole sewing pattern is a long, narrow strip of fabric that they drape around their neck and down the front, adorned with symbolic colors, designs, or embroidery.
The stole’s colors and designs have specific meanings rather than just being decorative. For example, white stoles are suitable for use during the Christmas season, while purple stoles are appropriate for the Lent period. Red stoles are worn on Pentecost Sunday, and green stoles are used during Ordinary Time. The designs and embroidery on the stoles also have symbolic meanings, such as the cross, which represents Christ’s sacrifice.

Within the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, red is the traditional liturgical color to be worn for installation service. And look at all of the lovely red stoles! Within our church body, it is tradition for pastors within the local circuit to attend the installation service of a brother pastor. At this installation service, there were a total of seventeen pastors vested in red stoles! There is a wealth and abundance in the variety of pastoral stoles.
This stole is intended for use during an installation. The components consist of an applique of a Sword and a Bible. The machine embroidered applique and the lower orphrey were placed on a silk dupioni stole using a red and gold galloon trim to finish off the raw edges. While the red of the applique is a slightly darker color than the red of the stole, the gold trim bridges the color gap, and the colors blend together nicely, creating a subtle gradation.
