词条 | stole |
释义 | stole ecclesiastical garb ![]() Its origins are obscure, but it probably derived from a handkerchief or a secular scarf used as a symbol of rank. In the 4th century it was worn as a vestment by deacons in the Eastern churches, and it was adopted somewhat later in the West. Originally called orarium or orarion, it was probably intended for wiping the mouth. The Latin term stola came into use in the 9th century. In the Eastern churches the equivalent vestment is the epitrachelion worn by priests and the orarion worn by deacons. A stole is also a long scarf of cloth or fur worn by women over the shoulders with the ends hanging down in front. It probably developed from a long, robe-like outer garment worn by matrons in ancient Rome. |
