A klobuk is a part of the spiritual clothing worn by Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholics. The term means "hat" in some Slavic languages and probably comes from the Turkish word kalpak .
In the Russian tradition, the klobuk is worn in the monasteries and by the bishops . It consists of a Kamilavkion with a veil. In the Athonite tradition the epanokamelavkion is placed over the kamilavkion, in other traditions it is attached to it.
The klobuk is traditionally worn by monks during worship. For certain ceremonies, e.g. B. the homage of the saints he is removed and placed on the left shoulder. As a rule, nuns are not allowed to remove the klobuk during mass. Even when the nuns are anointed, only the forehead is cleared and not the entire klobuk removed.
The klobuk is very often worn by bishops. Diocesan bishops wear a simple monastery klobuk. On the front of the lavatory of the Slavic Archbishops and Metropolitans there is usually a small cross as a sign of their rank. Metropolitan bishops wear a klobuk that is white instead of black. The Patriarch of Romania wears a white klobuk and a white ryassa. The Patriach of Moscow wears a white headdress, similar to the klobuk, it is rounded at the top, decorated with embroidery with a seraph and a cross. This is known as bullion gold ( hood )
The patriarch and bishops of the Coptic Catholics and the Armenian Catholic Church also wore klobuks, although this is not common among the ancient Oriental churches . Red klobuks were worn by the Coptic, Catholic Patriarchs, and also in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church by the Grand Archbishop when he was accepted into the College of Cardinals . A Ukrainian Catholic bishop wore a purple klobuk.
