The Stole with the Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Gietrzwałd is a liturgical garment inspired by the Gietrzwałd apparitions — the only Marian apparitions in Poland officially recognized by the Church. This motif imparts a special spiritual dimension to the garment, alluding to the call to prayer, conversion, and trust in the care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A photographic image of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Gietrzwałd with the Child is placed on one of the panels of the stole, reproduced with great precision and fidelity to detail. The technology of permanently transferring the image onto the fabric allows for the preservation of the naturalness of the representation, the subtlety of tonal transitions, and high resistance to liturgical use.
Both bands of the stole are adorned with embroidered floral ornaments in a fluid, harmonious arrangement. The delicate composition inspired by floral motifs emphasizes the Marian character of the garment and gives it an elegant, balanced appearance. The decorations have been designed to create a cohesive whole with the figurative part, maintaining liturgical solemnity and aesthetic balance characteristic of traditional priestly garments.
The Stole with the Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Gietrzwałd is made from high-quality material that ensures softness, comfort of wear, and aesthetic draping during the celebration. The fabric retains its shape well and remains resistant to creasing, allowing the garment to maintain an elegant appearance for a long time. The universal size makes the stole practical and suitable for daily priestly service as well as for solemn Marian celebrations.
The set includes two laser-cut collars that stabilize the positioning of the stole and enhance the comfort of its use. The whole represents a harmonious combination of spiritual symbolism, meticulous craftsmanship, and liturgical elegance.
