Vestments of a Bishop

An annotated video of the vesting of an Orthodox bishop. It describes the vestments being placed on the bishop and the significance of each.

Valaam Monastery Choir plays in the opening and final credits. For the specific names and history of several vestments, I am thankful to Fr. Sokolof's A Manual of the Orthodox Church's Divine Services.

(This video is the trimmed version of a video I made on March 27, 2011 at Holy Apostles Orthodox Church when His Eminence, Bishop Tikhon, made an official visit and offered Hierarchical Divine Liturgy.)
