Reversible Priest’s Stole White and Purple – Gold PAX Alpha and Omega

A priest’s stole centred on Christ

Leading prayer, celebrating and serving the community: this PAX Alpha and Omega priest’s stole gives a visible expression to the meaning of ministry. Its white and purple faces offer a practical way to prepare for different seasons of worship.

Gold-tone embroidery on both sides

The design, described as PAX, combines the Chi-Rho monogram with Alpha and Omega. Embroidered in gold-coloured thread on both panels of each face, it appears as four identical motifs. Its elongated lines stand out against both white and purple. This reversible stole measures 280 cm in length, weighs 180 g and is machine washable.

Symbols of peace and Christian hope

PAX is Latin for “peace”. The Chi-Rho refers to the name of Christ. Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, evoke the beginning and the end. White expresses joy and the Resurrection, while purple accompanies preparation, conversion and penitence.

A practical vestment and a meaningful gift

This white and purple liturgical stole provides two colours in one garment, making it a useful addition to parish vestments for celebrations in accordance with liturgical requirements. Its symbolism also makes it a thoughtful ordination or priestly anniversary gift, whether from family, friends or parishioners wishing to express their thanks.
