Reversible Deacon’s Stole Purple and White – Gold Cross and JHS

A deacon’s stole bearing the name of Jesus

From Advent reflection to the joy of the great feasts, the deacon accompanies the community in prayer and service. This purple and white deacon’s stole brings two liturgical colours together in one garment with a simple, expressive design.

Gold-tone cross and JHS embroidery

Both the purple and white faces have two embroidered motifs in gold-coloured thread. An elongated cross combines with flowing JHS lettering to create a harmonious design. This reversible deacon’s stole measures 280 cm in length, weighs 180 g and is machine washable.

Symbols of faith and service

JHS is a monogram of the name of Jesus. The cross recalls Christ’s self-giving love and Christian hope. Purple accompanies preparation, conversion and penitence; white evokes light, joy and the Resurrection. On the stole, these symbols give visible expression to the deacon’s ministry.

For parish life and diaconal ordinations

The reversible design provides two colours without the need for two separate garments. It accompanies celebrations where purple or white is appropriate under applicable liturgical requirements. Straightforward care makes it practical for parish life. As a diaconal ordination gift or a present for an anniversary of ministry, it is a meaningful way for family and parishioners to express their support.
