As we look toward Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar, we embark on a season of profound spiritual depth and exploration. 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.

At Carrot Top Studio, we believe in empowering pastors and ministers to express their unique calling and ministry through meaningful clergy stoles. Our Clergy Stole Fund offers a special opportunity for individuals and communities to support their pastor in acquiring stoles that resonate with their ministry and personal style. This blog post decribes the process.

This blog post explores the journey of ordination as a sacred and transformative milestone in the life of a minister, marking the beginning of a dedicated service to God and the community. As clergy prepare for this significant day, one element that carries deep symbolic meaning is the clergy stole—a garment rich in tradition, spirituality, and personal significance. Join us as we delve into the beauty and symbolism of ordination, focusing on the clergy stole, the special significance of the day, the color red for the Holy Spirit, and important symbols associated with this sacred rite.

Just as a flower unfolds its petals over time, joy blooms gradually, reminding us that not all hopes are swift to materialize. This blog post explores this topic knowing that with patience as our steadfast companion, we can navigate the meandering path, knowing that the eventual destination will be all the more rewarding for the wait. And see how the theme is connected visually to a new Carrot Top Studio rainbow stole design!
