*[[Miter]]: all bishops wear this; the episcopal miter is topped by a cross, unlike the priestly mitre
*[[Panagia (vestment)|Panagia]]/[[Engolpion]] - medallion usually depiction the Theotokos (Blessed Virgin Mary) holding the Christ Child. Some bishops (and all primates of [[autocephaly|autocephalous]] churches) have the dignity of a second panagia.
*[[Omophorion]]: of all episcopal vestments, this is considered to be the most important; the omophorion is a wide band of cloth worn about the shoulders
