Stavronikita – priest vestments
The cross and the details of the bordours, on this model of vestments, are designed according to the components of a miniature in the XIII century Psalter, from the monastery Stavronikita, Mount Athos. The tree itself on the phelonion, although composed of the same details, is modeled by an older phelonion embroidered with icons of the twelve apostles.
Four colors are used to make this vestment, which are dominated by dark blue and gold, and are also a feature of the miniature on the side of the first Psalm of David.
