Pentecost Vestment Set

These three designs were created to be used as a set, to make a priest's chasuble and stole set for Pentecost. They would be equally suitable for a deacon's dalmatic and stole.

For the chasuble or dalmatic front and back, the Dove with Rays design celebrates God's gift of the Holy Spirit in a symbol based on the story of Jesus' baptism. This design is set up for the embroiderer to appliqué a gold-colored fabric behind the dove, to fill the rays with gold. We used crepe-backed satin in the image on the upper left.

The flame commemorates how the Holy Spirit manifested as tongues like fire resting on each of the disciples. I put four flames on one side of the priest's stole and three on the other, alternating mirror-images of the flame in different colors to represent the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians chapter 12.

At 2 inches by 2 inches, the Fleury Greek Cross is sized to go on the back of a priest's stole, behind the neck. The Fleury Cross is a symbol of the Trinity.
