Divine Mercy Cross Stole


Divine Mercy Cross Stole 




After taking inspiration from the tabernacle door of the Marian Basilica in Krakow in Poland upon request, I designed and created the following stole. 



The violet stole is adored with the image of the sacred heart of Jesus over the cross from which rays of shine fourth in reface to the divine Mercy image. As it is all about LOVE what better image to have on a stole than this to be used for confession. The cross, heart and ray are all neatly hand embroidered and raised which makes the heart look quite three dimensional. The rays are the blood and water, which gushed from Christ’s side in the passion representing the water of baptism and all the sacraments. At the lower edge of the stole, there are two row of Russian gold braid.



There is a golden cross at the centre back. The fabric print is of Pugin design, which I felt complemented, the embellishments.



If you would like any further information about this stole or any of the items I have designed please do get in touch.
