The crook, also known as a pastoral staff or crosier, is a symbol of a bishop's role as a shepherd of the church. It typically has a curved top resembling a shepherd's staff, representing guidance and care for the faithful. The crook signifies the bishop's authority, pastoral responsibilities, and commitment to leading and protecting the congregation. It is often used during liturgical ceremonies and is an important emblem of ecclesiastical office.
