-The [[Orthodox Church]] no longer possesses an exact equivalent for this office. The order of acolyte has fallen into disuse with other minor orders, such as doorkeepers and exorcists.  At one time there was a rank of minor clergy called the taper-bearer, responsible for bearing lights during processions and liturgical entrances.  However, this rank has long ago been subsumed by that of the [[reader]] and the service for the [[ordination]] of a reader mentions both functions.  The functions of an acolyte or taper-bearer are therefore carried out by readers, [[subdeacon|subdeacons]], or by unordained men or boys. Subdeacons wear their normal vestments consisting of the [[sticharion]] and crossed [[orarion]]; readers and unordained servers generally wear the sticharion alone.
