Deacon’s Stole Virgin of the Poor of Banneux – Hand Embroidery

A deacon’s stole dedicated to the Virgin of the Poor

Some vestments express a spiritual connection as well as a liturgical purpose. This Virgin of the Poor of Banneux deacon’s stole recalls prayer and care for those in need. Its cream-white background brings a gentle dignity to gatherings centred on Mary.

Handmade in the style of Bruges tapestries

Both the stole and its embroidery are entirely made by hand. The Virgin of the Poor appears on the right panel and a white lily on the left, each surrounded by a gold circle. The Bruges tapestry style gives the imagery a detailed, warm presence.

Symbols of prayer and service

Mary’s prayerful pose invites reflection and trust. The white lily recalls purity. Devotion to the Virgin of the Poor also speaks to the deacon’s calling to serve with charity. The Marian design gives this vestment a meaning closely connected with ministry.
