Bishop Vestments (Black-Silver)

An Orthodox Christian Bishop’s official vestments are sacramental – they help him execute his responsibilities and functions with dignity. They are designed to be rich and ornate to set him apart from others and increase devotion in the wearer as well as everyone who looks upon them. For many years now, Istok Church Supplies has been providing highest quality Bishop Vestments in black and silver to Orthodox Christian churches in need of these specialty garments.
