Stoles for deacons - meaning
These distinctive sashes are chosen according to the type of rite being celebrated. The green deacon stole is worn on the weekdays of the liturgical year. Purple sashes are worn by deacons as a symbol of mourning and penance - they are chosen, for example, during Lent and at funeral liturgies, as are black items.
Red stoles are used for the rites of the Holy Spirit, the feasts of the Apostles, Evangelists and Martyrs and certain movable feasts. Deacon accessories in white are typical of many feast days and periods (including Christmas, All Saints' Day), masses at which the sacraments of Baptism or Matrimony are administered, and many other occasions.
Deacons may also wear pink stoles - this colour is only used on the Third Sunday of Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Lent. The ARS Sacra range also includes decorative liturgical stoles in gold and beige, as well as accessories with ornaments depicting the image of the Virgin Mary, which are particularly suitable for Marian feasts.
ARS Sacra - liturgical accessories for deacons
The stoles for deacons offered by ARS Sacra are made from a combination of polyester and wool, damask and velvet. Each one is decorated with embroidery depicting various religious symbols and images of saints. The elaborate ornamentation is mainly in gold but also in other liturgical colours. All are 260 cm long. You are welcome to purchase our deacon products from our store.
