Contrary to its name, Ordinary Time is anything but mundane; it is a period of growth, reflection, and the celebration of the Christian journey. In this blog post, we delve into the significance of Ordinary Time and how it provides a fertile ground for a diverse array of themes and symbols to adorn clergy stoles, enriching the worship experience and deepening our connection with the sacred.

In the gentle folds of this Baptism stole, a narrative unfolds—a story of commitment, cleansing, and the divine presence of the Triune God. Read more about the inspiration behind and the symbolism on this special stole.
