Like all our Personal Prayer Stoles, these are about 60″ long by 4.25″ wide. They are small enough not to be confused with a clergy stole, and to be portable enough to carry along and create a personal prayer space wherever you are. Special De Colores Prayer Card (show at left) included.
These make great gifts for new Cursillistas and Old Timers alike!
$35.00 plus shipping.

Our Personal Prayer Stoles are not just for Seminarians, and certainly not just for Clergy.
They are a personal prayer garment for anyone who likes to create a sanctified personal prayer space – one they can take with them wherever they go. But because the design is so versatile, we’ve decided to offer the idea of “Seminarian” Prayer Stoles – not because Seminarians are more likely to be devout, but because we know from experience that Seminarians are frequently in need of prayer!
Our personal prayer stoles are about 60″ long by 4.25″ wide: small enough that they cannot be confused with a standard clergy Eucharistic stole, and can be quite portable – useful wherever you wish to pause for prayer. They are a smaller and less expensive version of our larger prayer shawls. They can be ordered in custom colors. Our “Seminarian” line, shown here, is certainly “unofficial,” not endorsed by any of the seminaries. But we have chosen colors suggested by each of the seminary seals. The association with any educational institution is ours alone, but you might like to have a Seminarian Prayer Stole whose colors suggest your school:
1 – VTS 2 – CDSP 3 – Berkeley 4 – General 5 – SSW 6 – EDS
7 – Bexley 8 – Seabury 9 – Trinity 10 – Nashota 11 – Sewanee
CORRECTION: Nashotah (no. 10) should be Gold, Blue, and Red. We’ll correct the picture soon.
———————————————————————
Of course the Prayer Stoles above are not restricted to students or alumni of the various seminaries! If you see one you like, go ahead and order it.
And many folks are already using our Prayer Stoles in colors of their own choosing. Here are some:

This Saint Brendan of the Ninth Wave altar cloth and celebrant’s scarf was woven by Will for use at home with our Eucharist Service from the Saint Brendan’s Missal. (Unfortunately, the purple in the design came out blue in the photos, but you can imagine!) Sometimes we actually weave things for ourselves!

Posted in Handmade, Shawls, The Iona Shawl
The Colors of Iona: In the Scottish Hebrides
For many years we made annual trips to the Isle of Iona, off the west coast of Scotland. It was always at the end of April, when days could be as beautiful as the picture above, or cold and dreary with rain and sleet coming down sideway, lashing at the windows of our little cottage.
It was on those cold, wet days and nights that our idea for the Iona Shawl was born. We would wrap ourselves in their soft, warm comfort, sip hot tea, and nibble on shortbread cookies. We still wear our Iona Shawls today here at RavenOak Cottage, when the days are cold and dreary on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee.
Now, through Ephods & Pomegranates, we’d like to make the Iona Shawl available to you.
These hand-woven shawls are custom order only, so you will need to connect with us to talk about color options. We use only Lion Brand Homespun acrylic in the warp, and some examples are shown below. Each shawl is about 24″ wide, and 96″ long, with fringe.
The Iona Shawl sells for $200.00.
There are three ways you can begin the ordering process:
By telephone at 610-357-7291
By Email: 
Or through our Amazon Store: 
SAMPLE COLORS. Please contact us before placing your order to ensure color availability. Other colors may be available, please check with us.
