FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A clergy stole is a long, narrow strip of cloth worn by ordained ministers and clergy as a sign of their office and authority. It is typically worn around the neck, hanging down the front, and may be plain or decorated with religious symbols, embroidery, or liturgical colors. The stole symbolizes the yoke of Christ and the service of the priest or minister to the Church. The way it’s worn may vary by denomination and rank for example, deacons wear it across one shoulder, while priests and bishops wear it around the neck.
In the church context, a stole refers to a liturgical vestment worn by ordained clergy during services such as the Eucharist, weddings, baptisms, and funerals. It is not merely a decorative item but carries deep spiritual and symbolic meaning, representing the authority to preach, perform sacraments, and lead worship. The stole is also associated with the responsibilities of ministry, humility, and servanthood in the Christian faith.
In general terms, a stole is a long, scarf-like garment. In the religious or liturgical sense, it is a sacred vestment worn by clergy members in Christian churches. The design, color, and usage of the stole often follow the liturgical calendar, with different colors representing different seasons or events (e.g., purple for Lent, white for Easter and weddings, red for Pentecost, etc.).
Priests traditionally kiss the stole before putting it on as a sign of reverence, humility, and love for their sacred duty. This act is a personal devotion and acknowledgment of the priest’s unworthiness and gratitude to be able to carry out the responsibilities that come with the stole. It’s a symbolic gesture that recognizes the stole as more than a garment—it represents spiritual authority and sacramental service.
A stole fee is a traditional offering or donation given to a priest or minister for performing a religious service such as a baptism, wedding, funeral, or blessing. It is not a mandatory charge, but rather a customary gesture of appreciation. The name “stole fee” comes from the idea that the priest dons a stole when performing these rites, and the fee helps support the clergy or parish. The amount may vary depending on local customs or guidelines, and in some churches, the fee is waived for pastoral reasons.
