HOLY VESTMENTS
Holy vestments are the functional garments used by the Clergy in the celebration of the sacred Mysteries and Services, and indeed the Divine Liturgy: the sakkos, the phelonion (pellon), the mantle, the omophorion (scapular), the zone (belt), the epitrachelion (stole), the orarion, the epimanika, the epigonation. They are distinctive to the three degrees of Priesthood: the Deacon, the Presbyter, and the Bishop. Their use is already known from the Old Testament. Nevertheless, during the long Christian tradition, they have been enriched with Christian symbols and in many cases decorated with rich gold-embroidered decoration. Holy vestments are accompanied by the chest-worn crosses, engolpion/pectoral crosses, high priest mitres, and pastoral rods.
In this section clerical vestments are displayed, which from time to time were used by the chaplains of the Makrinitsa parish, or are donations to the Museum.
