Look up: Stole

  1. Stole
    A stole is a strip of silken material worn over both shoulders by priests and bishops, but over the left shoulder only by deacons, in their administrations. The council of Laodicea forbade the use of the stole to the inferior orders of the clergy. Symbolically it represents the yoke of Christ. The colour of the stole may be changed in harmony with the church's seasons.

The 28-mile (45 km) barrier dividing Germany's capital was built in 1961 to prevent East Berliners fleeing to the West, but as Communism in the Soviet Republic and Eastern Europe began to crumble, pressure mounted on the East German authorities to open the Berlin border.
