*[[Cassock|Anteri]]/Podrjaznik: Inner cassock, but does not have buttons down the front like the Roman cassock [http://www.kwvestments.com/images/103ant_exo.jpg]*[[Cassock|Exorasson]]/Ryassa/Jibbee: Outer cassock; a large, flowing garment [http://www.kwvestments.com/images/102ant_exo.jpg]
*[[Pectoral cross]]: In much of Slavic Orthodoxy, the pectoral cross is the sign of a priest; a plain silvertone (usually pewter) cross is common to most priests, especially of the Russian tradition; the gold and jeweled pectoral crosses are given as awards to clergy; the highest award that can be given to a priest is a second pectoral cross (i.e., the priest may wear two pectoral crosses). In Greek practice, the pectoral cross is awarded only when a priest is elevated to the rank of [[archpriest|Oikonomos]], and there is no distinction made between various levels of crosses.
*[[Skouphos]]/skufiya/skoufia/skouphia/skoupho: a soft-sided cap, may be peaked (Russian style) [http://oag.ru/images/icon/20030416-200136-Father_Alexey_s2.jpg] or flat (Greek style).
