The Bishop's Mitre Symbolism

Two folded peaks on this miter (mitre) represent The Old
and The New Testaments.

       This clerical headdress is worn by old orthodox bishops from: Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Churches, Anglicans and some Lutherans, and the Syrian Church.

The scriptural references for Chrismons of the Miter:
  • ''Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.'' Ephesians. 6:17
  • ''But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmut.'' 1 Thessalonians. 5:8
