The Holy vestments of the Orthodox Church are seven, following the properties of the Holy Spirit, but also the number of completeness according to the Bible. The following list outlines the articles of clothing worn by the Orthodox clergy, and brief reference is made to some of their symbolisms.

1. The Sticharion is worn internally by all orders of priesthood. It is essentially a long tunic, which symbolizes purity and spiritual joy.

2. a) The Orarion is a fabric tape, worn only by the Deacon on his left shoulder. b) The Epitrachelion belongs in the same category and replaces the orarion in the senior orders of the clergy. It symbolizes the Grace of the Holy Spirit, while the fringes that are at its lowest end symbolize the souls of the people that make up the congregation. No rituals can be performed without an epitrachelion.

3. Epimanikia are a type of sleeves that are worn by all orders of priesthood on their lower arms, to fasten the edges of the sticharion together with the other vestments of the priest. They symbolize the omnipotent energy of God and of Holy Gifts.

4. The Belt is used to fasten the vestments of Presbyters and Bishops, symbolizing the spiritual readiness of priests.

5. a) Felonio is a one-piece garment which symbolizes the seamless tunic of our Lord and the unity of the Church. b) Sakos (i.e. the bag) is a garment which belongs in the same category and is worn only by bishops. The little bells of the Sakos refer to Aaron's twelve little bells, and relate to the didactic sermon of the High Priest and the sermoning voices of the twelve Apostles.

6. The Epigonation has a rhomboidal shape and hangs from the shoulders of senior Priests or most usually from a bishop's Sakos, and it denotes an honorary office.

7. The Omophorion is made of a band of fabric that is worn criss-crossed on a Bishop's chest and it symbolizes the lost sheep, which Christ bore on his shoulders.
