But the Ecclesiastical nature of the regal costume of the middle ages does not end with the dalmatic. Thus, the effigy of Richard I. at Fontevraud wears a cope-like mantle, a dalmatic, and a white sub-tunic, answering to the distinctive costumes of bishop or priest, deacon and subdeacon respectively. When the body of Edward I was exhumed at Westminster in 1774, he was found to wear among other garments a dalmatic and a _stole_, crossed on the breast in the priestly manner. The body of John, in Worcester, was found in 1797 to be habited in costume similar to that represented on his effigy, with the addition of a monk's cowl, no doubt adopted in order to safeguard his prospects of future happiness, as death in the monastic habit was regarded as ensuring a passport to heaven. The vestments of the Eastern Church are much simpler, and the rites connected with them have nothing like the complexity associated with those of the Western Church. They have but two colours, for instance—violet for fast-days (including Lent),[102] and white for the rest of the year—and ridicule the elaboration to which liturgical colours have been brought in the Western Church. This fact might be indicated, if any disproof of the existence of a primitive system of liturgical colours were needed. The following are the rubrical directions and prayers used at vesting for the Eucharistic service in the Greek Church: _Being then come within the altar [after the procession up the church] they [the priest and deacon] make three bows before the holy table, and kiss the holy gospel and the holy table: then each, taking his_ =stoicharion= _in his hand, makes three bows and saith softly to himself_: O God, purify me, a sinner, and have mercy upon me. _The Deacon comes to the priest, holds his_ =stoicharion= _and_ =ôrarion= _in his right hand, and bowing down his head to him, saith_: Bless, sir, the =stoicharion= and the =ôrarion=. _The priest._ Blessed be our God always, now and for ever, even unto ages of ages. _The deacon then goes apart on one side of the altar and puts on his_ =stoicharion=, _saying_: My soul shall rejoice in the Lord, for He hath put on me the robe of salvation, and clothed me with the garment of gladness: as a bridegroom hath He put a crown on my head and decked me like a bride. _Then, kissing the_ =ôrarion=, _he puts it upon his left shoulder. Then he puts on his_ =epimanikia=: _putting on that on his right hand, he saith_: Thy right hand, O Lord, is glorified in strength; Thy right hand, O Lord, hath destroyed the enemies, and in the greatness of Thy glory hast Thou put down the adversaries. _Then, putting the other on his left hand_: Thy hands have made me and fashioned me. O give me understanding that I may learn Thy commandments. [_He then prepares the sacred vessels._]
