When the prelate is not vested for services in the [[church]], he uses a different, smaller staff that is in the form of a walking stick topped with a silver pommel.
The [[Archbishop]] of Cyprus is uniquely privileged among the bishops in carrying a crosier that is shaped like scepter used by the Eastern Roman emperors. This privilege is one of the ‘’Three Privileges’’ granted to the [[Church of Cyprus]] by Emperor [[Zeno(emperor)|Zeno]].
