PRODUCT INCLUDES >>>

This set of altar server's vestments consists of a sticharion and an orarion (orar). Because all garments are individually hand-tailored, small variations in design, color and pattern should be expected.

For services, the altar boy is vested in a sticharion with an orar tied around his waist, up over his shoulders (forming a cross in back), and with the ends crossed over, and tucked under the section around the waist. This distinguishes them from acolytes in those jurisdictions where acolytes are ordained and blessed to wear the orar, as the latter do not wear the orar crossed in front but simply hanging straight down.
