Hieratical Poles

The Hierarchical Poles decorate the two lower ends of the hierarchical cloak and symbolize the two poles of the Earth where Christianity was spread by the power of the Gospel.

The Hierarchical Poles in our collection are elaborately embroidered and usually feature depictions of Christ and the Virgin Mary. They are offered in various shapes, with the most impressive being those fully embroidered, where the entire surface is covered with thread.
