2. VESTMENTS
• Vestments are liturgical
garments and articles associated
primarily with the Christian
religion, especially among the
Eastern Orthodox, Catholics
(Latin Rite and others),
Anglicans, and Lutherans. Many
other groups also make use of
liturgical garments; this was a
point of controversy in the
Protestant Reformation and
sometimes since, in particular
during the Ritualist controversies
3. • Russian style:
The Russian style phelonion is generally used by the Ukrainian autocephalous, Ukrainian
orthodox, polish orthodox and the orthodox churches in America. Some Bulgarian and
Ukrainian orthodox churches use vestments, which are a hybrid between Russian and Greek
styles. With time, the Russian orthodox vestments have changed a bit from the European
vestment patterns and varieties yet the cause is not different.
• Symbolism:
The vestments are symbolical of the gift of strength. The belief is that where god aids the priest in his services
and exhorts him the vestment gives him strength and the courage. The epigonation is a long piece of brocade
which is always suspended from the hip area which signifies the spiritual world and the word of god! Before
the introduction of sakkos the bishops used to wear a phelonion identical to the ones which the priest used to
wear but was made up of broidery with a multiple cross pattern that too on a piece of cloth.
• Through the pages of the history book:
Very much like the chasuble the phelonion was originally a round vestment with a hole in the middle of the
head which has the length of the feet in all sides. The present form however is largely cut in the front and in
Russia, the use of the phelonion is not limited to the Divine Liturgy but is specified for the major liturgical
procedures. It originated in Europe and by the end of 15th century; it had travelled whole of Europe and other
parts of the world like Ukraine, Poland, America and above all, Russia.
• Finally, why should people buy it
Liturgy is incomplete without priests and the priests must be wearing the orthodox vestments so as to fulfill
the task. The kind of vestments available
