	Epitrachelion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Epitrachelion (from the Greek, επιτραχηλιον "around the neck"; often called simply a stole in casual English-language usage) is the liturgical vestment worn by priests and bishops of the Orthodox Church as the symbol of their priesthood, corresponding to the Western stole.
		It is essentially the orarion adapted for priests and bishops, worn around the neck with the two ends hanging down equally in front (more or less to the ankle) and with the two adjacent sides sewn or buttoned together up the center, leaving enough space through which to place the head.
		When the bishop is fully vested he wears the epitrachelion over the sticharion and under the zone, the sakkos and the omophorion.
