The priest wears the epitrachelion whenever he is serving as a priest. For some services, e.g., [[Vespers]] or [[Orthros]], he wears the epitrachelion by itself. When he is fully vested for the [[Divine Liturgy]], he wears the epitrachelion over the [[sticharion]] and under the [[zone]] and the [[phelonion]].
If a priest is simply attending a service, he wears no liturgical vestments, but will put on his epitrachelion (and in many Slavic traditions, his [[epimanikia]]) before receiving the [[Eucharist]].
