- Note
- "In the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic liturgical tradition, the omophorion (Greek: ὠμοφόριον, meaning "[something] borne on the shoulders"; Slavonic: омофоръ, omofor) is the distinguishing vestment of a bishop and the symbol of his spiritual and ecclesiastical authority. Originally woven of wool, it is a band of brocade decorated with four crosses and an eight-pointed star; it is worn about the neck and shoulders.
By symbolizing the lost sheep that is found and carried on the Good Shepherd´s shoulders, it signifies the bishop´s pastoral role as the icon of Christ. All Orthodox bishops wear the omophorion. Clergy and ecclesiastical institutions, including seminaries, subject to a bishop´s authority are often said to be "under his omophorion"." - (en.wikipedia.org 20.12.2021)
