The Igumen has to be raised to the rank of Archimandrite to wear the Mitra. The Archpriest usually gets the Mitra. The only difference with the bishop's mitra is that it has no cross on top, where the bishop's does.

Dear Father Anthony, Bless, please. Thank you. What you described is consistent with Brother Linus' actions in and out of the church. Now I know the whys.  In Christ, Michael

There were some post about women covering their heads...I came from a Protestant tradition where women were required to cover their heads as did most ..pre-Vat II...! My daughter now goes with me to my Rus' Orth parish, and I will NOT allow her to come UN-covered, and she has not balked at this a bit. Ther was a time when Prots' women would not be in church without at least a hat on. Oh, how times have changed. Tisk tisk, what will we do. It is akin to confession before each and every communion, the only ones practicing this are some...Russian parishes...but even then ..not all. S Bohom, Mikhailo

I dont think the non wearing of hats in Church had much to do with Vatican II or not. Women wore hats everywhere and come to think of it so did men. However there was a major fashon change in the 1960s and in regard to hat wearing and both sexes stopped wearing them. Hat wearing became something people did for weddings and special occasions like the going to 'ladies day' at the horse races, or because of the climate. Poor ol'Vatican gets blamed for everyting thats different or changed in the same time frame. I think that among the RoC the wearing of head scarfs never went out and with many traditional Russian designs on scarfs today many Orthodox young women are quite pleased to wear them. hat wearing was not encouraged among RoC congregations in Australia. with skin cancers becomign an issue world wide hat wearing out of doors a lot of younger males are now wearing them and are being encourged to wear them with brim all around.
