#790 Lent clergy stole - Hexagon stole
The hexagon has interesting symbolism that can connect to our Lenten journey.
For example, in Christian iconography, the hexagonal shape is reminiscent of a casket, a small pointed boat-like structure in which to depart this life and journey toward the New Jerusalem. It symbolizes the burial of the old sinful self. For this reason, the vast majority of pulpits, from the middle ages to the nineteenth century, have six sides. They prepare us for the voyage.
Alternatively, the hexagon's six sides represent the six days of creation, after which God rested. So the number six stands for things imperfect, corrupt, and wanting to be perfected.
The many shades of purple and the symbolism of the hexagon make this a strong visual connection for the season of Lent.
*NOTE - each stole is the same base purple but the hexagons may vary in shades and prints. Your stole will be uniquely yours.
The stole front is crafted from cotton fabric. It is interfaced for added body and is lined with the same purple fabric as seen on the front.
This stole is available in several lengths as listed.
It measures 4 7/8" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.
