What do bishops wear?

Answer 1

.

Catholic AnswerBishops regularly wear a black clerical suit, the only difference in their everyday dress, from a priest, would be a chain across their chest. They always wear their pectoral cross, but it is usually tucked into a pocket, so you will just see the chain across their rabat. AnswerWIKIPEDIA (for further reads, see link below)

"Traditionally, a number of items are associated with the office of a bishop, most notably the mitre, crosier, and episcopal ring. Other vestments and insignia vary between Eastern and Western Christianity.

In the Latin branch of the Catholic Church, the choir dress of a bishop includes the purple cassock with amaranth trim, rochet, purple zuchetto (skull cap), purple biretta, and pectoral cross. The accurements of a bishop include the pontifical gloves and pontifical sandals, but these items are rarely seen today except within the context of the Extraordinary Form (the Tridentine Mass). The cappa magna, which was once used as choir dress for bishops on solemn occasions, is also rarely seen although its use is permitted. The coat of arms of a Latin Rite Catholic bishop will usually display a galero with a cross and crosier behind the escutcheon; however, the specifics will differ by location and ecclesiastical rank (see Ecclesiastical heraldry).

Anglican bishops generally make use of the mitre, crosier, episcopal ring, purple cassock, purple zuchetto, and pectoral cross. However, the traditional choir dress of Anglican bishops is quite different from that of their Catholic counterparts; it consists of a long rochet which is worn with a chimere.

In the Eastern Churches (Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Rite Catholic) a bishop will wear the mandyas, panagia (and perhaps an enkolpion), sakkos, omophorion and an Eastern-style mitre. Eastern bishops do not normally wear an episcopal ring; the faithful will kiss the bishop's hand. To seal official documents, he will usually use an inked stamp. An Eastern bishop's coat of arms will normally display an Eastern-style mitre, cross, eastern style crosier and a red and white (or red and gold) mantle. The arms of Oriental Orthodox bishops will display the episcopal insignia (mitre or turban) specific to their own liturgical traditions. Variations will occur based upon jurisdiction and national customs."
