	Vestments
		Pontifical vestments are the liturgical head-covering, excepting in the Armenian Rite where the priest also wears such a covering for the head, the sakkos, the omophorion, the epigonation, and the epimanikia.
		The new pontifical vestments were: the sakkos, still a patriarchal vestment; the epimanikien; the epigonation, in so far as this vestment had not already been introduced before the ninth century; the epigonation first had the form of a handkerchief and was called enchirion (hand-cloth, handkerchief), it was not named epigonation until the twelfth century.
		In the fourth period, from the thirteenth century to the present time, the history of the liturgical vestments is almost entirely the history of their rubrical evolution, their adornment with embroidery and ornamental trimmings, and the nature of the material from which they are made.

		The epigonation, like the maniple, was originally a cloth held in the hand; a fact sufficiently proved by the ancient name i'yxelprov (xsip, hand), which it retained until the 12th century.
		For convenience' sake this cloth came to be suspended from the girdle on the right side, and is thus represented in the earliest extant paintings (see Braun, p.
		The name epigonation, which appears in the latter half of the 12th century, probably marks the date of the complete conventionalizing of the original cloth into the present stiff embroidered square; but the earliest representations of the vestment in its actual form date from the 14th century, e.g.

		The visual reminder of the preaching ministry appears in the priestly vestment called the "epigonation," which is an oblong piece that Bishops and many Priests wear suspended on the right hip.

		For this reason, as the Priest puts on the epigonation, a vesting prayer is said reminding him that he is clothed by the Lord with a most urgent seriousness to carry out the proclamation of God's word.
