Fully Embroidered Epitrahelion – Gold Eastern Orthodox Priest Vestments
Elevate every Divine Liturgy with this richly detailed epitrahelion, a traditional Eastern Orthodox priest stole crafted from deep burgundy velvet and embroidered throughout with shimmering gold Byzantine crosses and scrollwork. Each stitch is laid on industrial machines at high density, ensuring razor-sharp patterns that will stay vibrant through years of vestment use.
The stole is lined along the neck with soft cotton for all-day comfort, rests perfectly over the shoulders, and falls in clean, even panels that will not twist while censing or blessing. Metallic bullion fringe accents the hem, echoing the brilliance of the embroidery and lending a dignified finish as the priest moves within the sanctuary.
Because the epitrahelion is the primary sign of priestly grace—symbolizing the yoke of Christ—every detail has been executed with care: balanced cross placement down the center, hand-tacked fringe, reinforced stitching at stress points, and a discreet fabric loop to keep the stole aligned. Standard length fits clergy 5′6″ – 6′2″; custom sizing or alternative colors (royal blue, forest green, white) are available on request.
Hand-made in our Florida workshop, this stole ships worldwide in protective packaging, ready for immediate blessing and liturgical service. Add it to your vestment treasury today and experience the timeless beauty of a fully embroidered Eastern Orthodox priest stole that proclaims the glory of God in every thread.
