*[[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, the nabedrennik is worn on the 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 Slavic tradition; the priestly miter does not have a cross on its top; Slavic practice allows the award of the mitre miter to nonmonastic clergy
For the [[bishop]]:
*[[Sakkos]]: instead of the phelonion, the bishop wears the sakkos, which is a tight-fitting garment with wide sleeves
*[[Epigonation]]/palitsa: all bishops wear this
*[[Miter]]: all bishops wear this; the episcopal miter is topped by a cross, unlike the priestly mitremiter
*[[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
*[[Mantiya]]: sleeveless cape that fastens at the neck and the feet, worn by the bishop when he formally enters the church before [[Divine Liturgy]].
*[[Dalmatic]] - a wide sleeved tunic, slit up the sides. The normal eucharistic garment of the deacon. Decorated with two vertical bands connected by two horizontal bands (see [[clavis]])
*[[Maniple]] - a small thin band of cloth worn on the left wrist by clergy (subdeacon, deacon, priest, and bishop) at liturgy. Its purpose was originally to wipe the chalice with.
*[[MitreMiter]]- pointed cap with two peaks: front and back. Classified by three levels of decoration and costliness. Worn by bishops and abbots. Early English or medieval style very short, made of felt, and slightly rounded with the peaks close together; Roman style much taller, of rigid material, and with the peaks sharper and further apart.
*[[Orphrey]] - the gilded and embroidered bands of decoration on Western vestments, particularly the chasuble.
*[[Pallium]] - the narrow woolen stole granted to bishops of metropolitan rank and above in the Western church, and which denote their high authority. Derived from the himation, the Greek philosopher's mantle, also worn by ascetics in the early Church.
