Priest’s robes: types and features
All varieties of robes differ in cut and color. The cassock of a Catholic priest has a straight cut and, in most cases, is not gathered at the waist. The robe of an Orthodox priest is straight, but narrower, with a belt at the waist.
The most common types of robes cuts:
- Greek region.
- Russian region.
In the half-Greek and half-Russian style, the characteristic features of pure styles are combined.
According to its symbolism, the robe of a priest in Orthodoxy means rejection of worldly bustle, peace and pacification. The priest wears such clothes in everyday life and for evening services. The classic coat is black, with a straight cut. Often this outfit combines Russian and Greek features – it has a straight cut, a belt at the waist and wide sleeves.
Monastic robes should be singled out in a separate category. They are worn by monks during prayers and in everyday life. The color of such a coat is usually black. Only the higher clergy – bishops – can wear light robes (in particular, white).
Robes are made according to individual measurements in the workshop. And in ancient times, it was possible to become the owner of such an outfit only by contacting a monastery or a church.
