Clergy Sticharions

Presenting Liturgical Clergy Sticharions from Istok

 

Every liturgical function carries its own significance and so does the vestment that church priests and clergy need to do during various ceremonies. These are long established traditions and the clergy Sticharions are also an important part of the process. This vestment harks back to a time when chiton, a long sleeved garment that reached the ground, was the source of the design. Both men and women used to sport the chiton which is what can be credited for the modern liturgical vestment worn today.

 

The Purpose of the Liturgical Clergy Sticharion

The Sticharion is meant to be a garment of salvation. This thin long sleeved garment is fastened at the neck with sides that are kept open. However they can be pulled together with buttons or ties. The color of the fabrics used are rich in their hues and these liturgical church clergy Sticharions are heavily embroidered. They are a strong symbol denoting the wearer is pure of heart and conscience. The guidelines for wearing this garment vary with different services which is why Istok Church Supplies offer numerous varieties of this vestment.
