The Diaconal Orarion is a long, narrow strip of fabric that the Deacon wears on his left shoulder, with its two ends hanging, one in the front and the other in the back. The word comes from the Latin "orare", which means "I pray", and symbolizes the wings of Angels.
The Deacon holds the front end with his right hand when praying. During the "Our Father", the Deacon wraps both ends of the Orarion on his back to have ease of movement during the Holy Communion that follows.
Our collection includes Diaconal Oraria in various colors and designs, all embroidered with intricate patterns of the Ecclesiastical tradition.

Church friends have admired them and one of my local priests said they are good examples of read holy icons. Many thanks again and I look forward to buying from your company again. Best wishes and God bless. Andrew..."
