Liturgical items
*[[Zone]]: cloth belt worn over the epitrachelion
*[[Phelonion]] - large conical sleeveless garment worn over all other vestments, with the front largely cut away to facilitate the priest's movements
*[[Nabedrennik]]: from the Slavic traditions; a stiffened square cloth worn on the left side via a long loop of cloth placed over the right shoulder (if the epigonation/palitsa has also been awarded, it is worn on the right left side); this is a clergy award, so it is not worn by all priests
*[[Epigonation]]/Palitsa: like the nabedrennik, except it is diamond-shaped and always worn on the right side (loop over the left shoulder); also a clergy award; in Byzantine practice, denotes a priest blessed to hear confessions
*[[Miter]]: not like the Roman miter, it is very much like a crown, and is adorned with icons; this is a clergy award for priests in the Russian tradition; the priestly mitre does not have a cross on its top; Russian practice allows the award of the mitre to nonmonastic clergy
*[[Orlets]]/eagle-rug: a small rug showing a single-headed eagle soaring over a city, on which the bishop stands during services.
*[[Crozier]]/Pateritsa/Zhezl: the staff; may be tau-style (T-shaped), with the crossbeam bent and surmounted by a cross, or serpent-style, showing two intertwined serpents, also surmounted by a cross.
