The ecru-coloured embroidered stole for baptism, subtly interwoven with gold thread, is an elegant and symbolic liturgical vestment intended for the celebration of the sacrament of baptism. The carefully selected colours and rich yet subdued ornamentation emphasise the unique nature of this sacrament, which is the beginning of Christian life and inclusion in the Church community.
The ecru colour symbolises purity, innocence and new life in Christ. The delicate interweaving of the fabric with gold thread gives the stola a solemn character, while introducing an element of sacredness and grandeur. In liturgy, gold signifies the glory of God, light and the presence of God’s grace, which perfectly corresponds to the theological meaning of baptism.
The most important decorative element is the precisely executed embroidery with motifs of the Holy Spirit, water and a candle. The Holy Spirit, shown in symbolic form, reminds us of His presence and action in the sacrament of baptism, when the baptised person receives the gift of new life in faith. The motif of water refers directly to the essence of the sacrament – washing away original sin and being born into a life of grace. The candle, on the other hand, symbolises the light of Christ, which from the moment of baptism is to guide the baptised person throughout their life.
The embroidered baptismal stole is made of high-quality fabric that is crease-resistant and easy to care for. Careful embroidery ensures the durability of the decorations and an aesthetic appearance even with frequent use. It is an excellent choice for parishes, shrines and chapels where particular importance is attached to the beauty of the liturgy and clear sacramental symbolism. The classic form and delicate golden accents make the Stole a perfect fit for the character of baptismal ceremonies.
