Liturgical Vestments of the Roman-Ruthenian Pope Illustration by PGP Media. Copyright 2026. All Rights Reserved. In the above illustration, the * symbol denotes items that are unique to the office of Prince-Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia Note: The superpianeta is used only on first-class feasts and first-class Sundays (except when the liturgical color is violet, rose, or black), the Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia wears the super-pianeta over the pianeta. This custom derives from the traditional Roman pontifical practice of layering the tunicle, dalmatic, and chasuble in solemn liturgical dress. The super-pianeta is worn beneath the fanon and matches the pianeta in color. It expresses the fullness of his pastoral office within the Latin Orthodox tradition and his care for all entrusted to him. Note: Simplex liturgical vesture is as described for other bishops of the Gallo-Russo-Byzantine Rite. [Divine Liturgy] [Main Page]     DISCLAIMER, LEGAL, AND COPYRIGHT NOTICES
