What Colors Do Fur Stoles Come In & What Time Of Year Are They Worn?

• Stoles are worn by priests in the Christian church and match the liturgical colours that are used on the communion tables (altars) and elsewhere in church. White stoles are worn at the great festivals like Christmas and Easter as these are joyous occasions and so the white (sometimes tinged with gold too) gives the people an uplift when entering church. Purple stoles are worn during times of repentance or reflection, during times of the year where we need to examine ourselves and our lifestyles. Purple, being a darker austere colour, creates a more solemn atmosphere. it is for this reason it is displayed in Lent or Advent. Red stoles are worn at Pentecost, to remind us of the flames of the Holy Spirit falling on the heads of the disciples. They are also worn on certain saints' days (if the church commemorates saints) especially if the saint was martyred, a the red reminds us of the blood shed by the saint at his or her martyrdom. Finally, at all other times green stoles are worn, as green is the colour of nature, it is neutral to the eye, and reminds us of God who created us and everything around us.

• For Women that prefer to wear fur stoles it is during the Autumn to Winter months of the year. Stoles come in many colors ranging from different shades of black/brown/white/mottled in color and are now generally frowned upon because the species of animals that these stoles are often made of (mink, fox, etc.) are considered to be a disgusting practice in the eyes of nature lovers.There are also many very realistic-looking faux furs nowadays, and there is always the option of dyed lambswool.If you can eat those lamb chops, you may as well wear their coats.
