_Ordination of a Priest_: At the commencement the candidate kneels at the altar, and the bishop puts the =ômophorion= on his head. At the end the =ôrarion= is taken from him, and the =epitrachêlion= is received by the bishop, who kisses it; the newly-ordained priest kisses the vestment and the bishop's hand; the bishop puts it on the priest, saying =axios=, which is repeated as at the ordination of a deacon. The =zônê= and =phainolion= is then conferred in a similar manner. _Ordination of a Bishop_: The new bishop comes to the service in all his sacred vestments. At the end the =ômophorion= is put upon the elect, except when the consecration takes place in the see of the bishop, in which case the =sakkos= and the other episcopal garments are given first. The same ceremonial is repeated as at the other ordinations. The vestments worn at the administration of baptism are the =phainolion= and =epimanikia=. There are three orders of devotees in the Greek monasteries. The _probationers_ wear a black cassock or vest called _shaesa_, and a hood (Russian _kamelauch_, =chamalauchê=). The _proficients_ wear, in addition, an upper cloak (=mandyas=). The _perfect_ are distinguished by their hood or vail, which perpetually conceals their faces from sight. [95] When the abbot of a monastery was also a bishop, the _prior_ had also the right to wear _pontificalia_ when his superior was absent. [96] The difficulty of folding the chasuble without injuring it has led to the substitution of a broad purple stole-like vestment, worn exactly like the folded chasuble. This is called the _stolone_.

[99] Feasts were divided into Doubles, Simples, and Sundays. Doubles were so-called from the anthems being _doubled_, _i.e._, said throughout at the beginning and end of the Psalms in the breviary office, instead of the first words only being said. The principal doubles were Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, Whitsunday, Assumption, the Local Anniversary, and the Dedication of the Church. [100] These explanations of colours are taken from Smith and Cheetham's 'Dictionary of Christian Antiquities.' [101] Rev. C. H. Hartshorne in _Arch. Journal_. [102] Violet or purple =stoicharia= are worn throughout Lent, except on Annunciation Day, Palm Sunday, and Easter Eve.
