Monk
,levels of monks - can someone provide better terminology?
There are various ranks of monks and nuns, varying according to the tradition of the region. Generally speaking, there are two broad categories of monastic traditions, the Russian (Slavic) and the Greek (Byzantine).
==Levels==
Generally, it can be said that there are four levels with regards to monks; although even what these levels mean can vary from place to place.
# Novice
# Rassophore Monk (lit. 'Cassock-bearing Monk')
# Stavrophore Monk (lit. 'Cross-bearing Monk')
# Schemamonk
