When a bishop wishes to confer an ecclesiastical award or honor on a deacon or priest under his jurisdiction, this will normally be accomplished at the Little Entrance of the Divine Liturgy. At the end of the Third Antiphon (normally the Beatitudes), the procession with the Gospel Book will halt at the bishop's cathedra (episcopal throne).
In the Catholic Church, the use of the mitre above the shield on the personal arms of clergy was suppressed in 1969, [46] and is now found only on some corporate arms, like those of dioceses. Previously, the mitre was often included under the hat, [47] and even in the arms of a cardinal, the mitre was not entirely displaced. [48]
The mitre (Commonwealth English) or miter (American English; see spelling differences; both pronounced / ˈ m aɪ t ər / MY-tər; Greek: μίτρα, romanized: mítra, lit. 'headband' or 'turban') is a type of headgear now known as the traditional, ceremonial headdress of bishops and certain abbots in traditional Christianity.
Note the absence of the mitre, the chasuble short or tucked up in front, the maniple still carried in the left hand. In the Liturgy of St. James, the bishop wears a felonion instead of a sakkos, with the great omophorion over it. Priests, on the other hand, do not wear the nabedrennik or the pectoral cross.
Pontifical vestments, also referred to as episcopal vestments or pontificals, are the liturgical vestments worn by bishops (and by concession some other prelates) in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, and some Lutheran churches, in addition to the usual priestly vestments for the celebration of the Holy Mass, other sacraments, sacramentals, and canonical hours.
Every high priest had a deputy—called the segan (deputy), mishneh (second), or "memunneh" (appointed)—to stand at his right; another assistant was called the "Catholicos". [50] For offenses which entailed flagellation, the high priest could be sentenced by a court of three; after submitting to the penalty, he could resume his office. [51]
