THE STOLE



The stole is worn by priests, deacons and Bishops.

The stole is worn only during the celebration of sacraments or blessing of sacramentals. The stole is not worn when attending a political meeting or function that is not liturgical in nature.

It is a strip of material that is embroidered with different designs or just a simple cross. There are different colours and they vary with respect to the liturgical season or feast day. 

It is the most important vestment because it signifies authority. This is why, even in the absence of other vestments due to some reason(s), the priest can celebrate the mass just with the Stole alone.
